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).

Explain what parallel medium boundaries do to the path of the wave after it travels through both boundaries. (air and water)
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

The boundaries cause the waves to change direction an effect called <u>refraction.</u>

Explanation:

When a wave crosses a boundary between different materials, the speed of the wave and its wavelength changes.When passing from air to water the two properties (speed and wavelength) decreases, and the wave is observed to change direction as it crosses the boundary between the two material.The bending of the wave is called refraction.

A non-conducting sphere of radius R = 3.0 cm carries a charge Q = 2.0 mC distributed uniformly throughout its volume. At what di
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

r =3 *\sqrt{2} = 4.24 cm

Explanation:

given data

Radius of sphere 3.0 cm

charge Q = 2.0 m C

We know that maximum electric field is given as

E_{MAX}= \frac{KQ}{r^{2}}

electric field inside the sphere can be determine by using below relation

\frac{KQ}{r^{2}}= \frac{1}{2}*\frac{KQ}{R^{2}}

r = \sqrt{2}R

r =3 *\sqrt{2} = 4.24 cm

If an electron is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 9.9 kV, what is its resulting speed
beks73 [17]

Answer:

v = 5.9 x 10⁷ m/s

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the electron in terms of potential difference is given as:

K.E = eV--------------- equation (1)

where,

e = charge on electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

V = Potential Difference = 9.9 KV = 9900 Volts

The kinetic energy in general is given as:

K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}\\--------- equation (2)

where,

m = mass of electron = 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg

v = speed of electron = ?

Therefore, comparing equation (1) and equation (2), we get:

\\\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = eV\\\\\frac{1}{2}(9.1\ x\ 10^{-31}\ kg)v^{2} = (1.6\ x\ 10^{-19}\ C)(9900\ volts)\\\\v = \sqrt{34.81\ x\ 10^{14}} \\

<u>v = 5.9 x 10⁷ m/s</u>

Describe the story of the constellation Capricornus. WILL MARK BRAINLEST IF NOT STOLEN FROM A WEBSITE OR ANYTHING WITH A PROPER
ICE Princess25 [194]

Your answer:

In Greek mythology, this constellation is related with the time the Olympian gods sought refuge in Egypt. Unfortunately, following their epic fighting with the Titans, peace did not closing for long, as the monster Typhon, son of the Titan Tartarus and Earth, sought revenge. Typhon was once a fearsome fire-breathing creature, taller than mountains and with palms which possessed dragons' heads in region of fingers. The Olympian gods sought to break out by way of adopting a number disguises: Zeus, a ram - Hera, a white cow, Bacchus (another model of the fable suggests Pan) a goat. As Typhon approached, Bacchus/Pan threw himself into the Nile but, in a panic, solely succeeded in altering part of his body, ending up with a goat's physique and the tail of a fish. Meanwhile, Zeus had been dismembered via Typhon, however was saved when Bacchus/Pan let out an ear-splitting yell, distracting the monster lengthy ample for an agile Hermes to gather the supreme god's limbs and cautiously fix him. In gratitude, Zeus transferred Bacchus/Pan to the heavens.
