Question

Why do plastic bottles sometimes get crushed during the landing of an aeroplane?

• A. An aeroplane has more pressure at higher altitudes than that on the ground.
• B. An aeroplane has less pressure at higher altitudes than that on the ground.
• C. An aeroplane has a high temperature at higher altitudes than that on the ground.
• D. An aeroplane has a low temperature at higher altitudes than that on the ground.

Answer 1

The correct option is B An aeroplane has less pressure at higher altitudes than that on the ground.

• Atmospheric pressure is inversely proportional to Altitude.
• During the landing of an aeroplane, the pressure inside it increases, due to which a bottle gets crushed.
