1
Q

pressure (defintion)

A

the force per unit area, it is a physical property of all states of matter and is measured in pascals (pa) or kilopascals (kpa)

the si unit is pa (but usually need to do in kpa

Q

what is live high train low

A

the density of air decreases as the altitude increases, therefore there is less oxygen (a lower density of oxygen)

21% of the air is still oxygen its just there is less air, body compensates for less oxygen by making more red blood cells to carry the oxygrn sround more
