the density of the atmosphere on a certain planet is found to decrease as altitude increases (as measured from the planets surface). what is the graphical relationship between altitude and atmospheric density on this planet?\na. inverse plot\nb. quadratic plot\nc. velocity plot\nd. acceleration plot\ne. parabolic plot
Answer
Brief Explanations:
Since the density of the atmosphere decreases as altitude increases, as one variable (altitude) goes up, the other (atmospheric density) goes down. This is characteristic of an inverse - relationship. In an inverse plot, as one quantity increases, the other decreases.
Answer:
A. inverse plot
