Why do areas with low altitude have warmer air than areas with high altitude

Physics
1 answer:
barxatty [35]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Air at higher altitude is under less pressure than air at lower altitude because there is less weight of air above it, so it expands (and cools), while air at lower altitude is under more pressure so it contracts (and heats up).

Hope that helped

A 4.0 kg box is released from rest on a frictionless ramp. The box slides from the ramp onto a rough horizontal
muminat

Answer:

Assuming air resistance is negligible, all of the potential energy that the object has at the top of the ramp is converted into kinetic energy by the time it gets to the bottom of the ramp.  This is because no matter what path the object takes to move the 5m vertically (ie. falling straight down v. sliding on the ramp), gravity does the same amount of work on it.

Thus, calculate the total amount of potential energy at the top of the ramp:

Ep=mgh

Ep=4(9.81)5

Ep=196.2 Joules

Because all of this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy in the object by the bottom of the ramp, the object hits the spring with 196.2J of energy.

By using the formula for elastic potential energy, you can calculate exactly how far the spring compresses.

196.2=(1/2)k(x^2)

392.4=(350)(x^2)

1.1211=x^2

sqrt(1.1211)=x

x=1.059m

As for the last part of the question, after the object compresses the spring fully and stops momentarily, the spring converts it's elastic potential energy back into kinetic energy in the object and pushes it away again.

A person of mass m will bungee-jump from a bridge over a river where the height from the bridge to the river is h. The bungee co
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:k_{min}=\frac{18mg}{h}

Explanation:

Given

mass of person is m

Distance between bridge and river is h

chord has an un-stretched length of \frac{2h}{3}

Let spring constant be k

Person will just stop before hitting the river

Conserve energy i.e. Potential Energy of Person is converted in to elastic energy of chord

mgh=\frac{kx^2}{2}

x=h-\frac{2h}{3}=\frac{h}{3}

mgh=\frac{kh^2}{18}

k=\frac{18mg}{h}

Thus k_{min}=\frac{18mg}{h}

A man pulls a sled at a constant velocity across a horizontal snow surface. if a force of 80 n is being applied to the sled rope
balandron [24]
A constant velocity implies the two forces must be equal and opposite.
Friction acts horizontal to the ground, therefore we must find the force applied to the sled rope that acts horizontal to the ground.
Do this by resolving:
Force = 80cos53
The force opposing this is equal, and so also = 80cos53 = 48 N (2 sig. fig.)
