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

1 answer:

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).

An ideal air-filled parallel-plate capacitor has round plates and carries a fixed amount of equal but opposite charge on its pla

dusya [7]

Answer:

C). $U_f = \frac{U_0}{2}$

Explanation:

As we know that capacitance of a given capacitor is

$C = \frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d}$

now we know that energy stored in the capacitor plates

$U_0 = \frac{Q^2}{2C}$

here if all the dimensions of the capacitor plate is doubled

then in that case

$C' = \frac{\epsilon_0 (4A)}{2d}$

here area becomes 4 times on doubling the radius and the distance between the plates also doubles

So new capacitance is now

$C' = 2C$

so capacitance is doubled

now the final energy stored between the plates of capacitor is given as

$U_f = \frac{Q^2}{2C'}$

so the final energy is

$U_f = \frac{Q^2}{4C}$

$U_f = \frac{U_0}{2}$

If Sherry took her pulse for 6 seconds and felt 14 beats, What would her heart rate be?

Schach [20]

Answer:

140 beats per minute

Explanation:

There are 60 seconds in a minute and we know that Sherry felt 14 beats in 6 seconds if you multiply 6 by 10 you get 60 seconds which can be 1 minute. Then you multiply 14 by 10 since you 14 by 10 since you multiplied 6 by 10 and you get 140 beats per minute.
