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).

Astronauts are trained for take-off in a high-speed centrifuge of 4.7 m radius that spins in the horizontal plane.
Leokris [45]

Answer:

a) 1.94 \frac{rad}{s}

b) 9.12\frac{m}{s}

c) Towards the center of the centrifuge

Explanation:

a)

Becuse the centrifuge rotates in circular motion, there's an angular acceleration tha simulates high gravity accelerations

a_{rad}=\omega r^{2}

with r the radius and ω the amgular velocity, in or case a_rad=3.5g so:

3.5g=\omega r^{2} and g=9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}

solving for ω:

\omega=\frac{3.5g}{r^2}=\frac{3.5*9.8}{4.2^2}

\omega = 1.94 \frac{rad}{s}

b) Linear speed (v) and angular speed are related by:

v=\omega r =(1.94)(4.7)

v= 9.12\frac{m}{s}

c) The apparent weigth is pointing towards the center of the circle, becuse angular acceleration is pointing in that direction.

A diet is to contain at least 2400 mg vitamin C, 1800mg Calcium, and 1200 calories every day. Two foods, a dairy-based meal and
Kay [80]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of ounce of dairy based meal and let y represent the number of vegan option in ounce.

Since the diet must contain at least 2400 mg vitamin C, therefore:

50x + 20y ≥ 2400

Since the diet must contain at least 1800 mg Calcium, therefore:

30x + 20y ≥ 1200

Since the diet must contain at least 1200 calories, therefore:

10x + 40y ≥ 1200

Therefore the constraints are:

50x + 20y ≥ 2400

30x + 20y ≥ 1200

10x + 40y ≥ 1200

x > 0, y > 0

The graph was drawn using geogebra online graphing tool, and the solution to the problem is at:

C(30, 45) and D(48, 18)

dairy-based meal costs $0.042 per ounce and the vegan option costs $0.208 per ounce. The cost equation is:

Cost = 0.042x + 0.208y

At C(30, 45);  Cost = 0.042(30) + 0.208(45) = $10.62

At C(48, 18);  Cost = 0.042(48) + 0.208(18) = $5.76

The minimum cost is at (48, 18). That is 48 dairy based meal and 18 vegan

A 6 m long, uniform ladder leans against a frictionless wall and makes an angle of 74.3 ◦ with the floor. The ladder has a mass
olganol [36]

Answer: µ=0.205

Explanation:

The horizontal forces acting on the ladder are the friction(f) at the floor and the normal force (Fw) at the wall. For horizontal equilibrium,

f=Fw

The sum of the moments about the base of the ladder Is 0

ΣM = 0 = Fw*L*sin74.3º - (25.8kg*(L/2) + 67.08kg*0.82L)*cos74.3º*9.8m/s²

Note that it doesn't matter WHAT the length of the ladder is -- it cancels.

Solve this for Fw.

0= 0.9637FwL - (67.91L)2.652

Fw=180.1/0.9637

Fw=186.87N

f=186.81N

Since Fw=f

We know Fw, so we know f.

But f = µ*Fn

where Fn is the normal force at the floor --

Fn = (25.8 + 67.08)kg * 9.8m/s² =

910.22N

so

µ = f / Fn

186.81/910.22

µ= 0.205

Two balls with masses of 2.0 kg and 6.0 kg travel toward each other at speeds of 12 m/s and 4.0 m/s, respectively. If the balls
Alina [70]

Answer:

The kinetic energy lost in the collision is 48 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first ball, m₁ = 2.0 kg

mass of the second ball, m₂ = 6.0 kg

initial speed of the first ball, u₁ = 12 m/s

initial speed of the second ball, u₂ = 4 m/s

let v be the final velocity of the two balls after the inelastic collision

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

2 x 12 + 6 x 4 = v(2 + 6)

48 =  8v

48 / 8 = v

v = 6 m/s

The initial kinetic energy of the balls is calculated as;

K.E₁ = ¹/₂m₁u₁² + ¹/₂m₂u₂²

K.E₁ = ¹/₂(2)(12²) + ¹/₂(6)(4)²

K.E₁ = 144 + 48

K.E₁ = 192 J

The final kinetic of the balls is calculated as;

K.E₂ = ¹/₂(m₁ + m₂)(v²)

K.E₂ = ¹/₂(2 + 6)(6²)

K.E₂ = ¹/₂(8)(6²)

K.E₂ = 144 J

The lost in kinetic energy of the balls is K.E₂ - K.E₁ = 144 J - 192 J = -48 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy lost in the collision is 48 J
