Answer/Explanation:

Heat from the sun hits the ground and is absorbed. The higher you go, it gets more colder due to the fact that the air doesn't hold onto the radiation as it goes straight through the ground, which is why the top of mountains are very cold, and people are able to die in minutes.

As you go higher, there are less air molecules and matter therefore meaning there is a lower pressure pushing down on you. Plus, when it is lower that means the particles will do some work meaning it will lose energy and when energy decreases so does the temperature and we define temperature as the average energy of the particles, in simpler words: When the pressure gets lower, the temperature also will get lower, which is why the higher you are the air temperature will get lower, and the lower you are the air temperature will get higher.

Agustina was standing on the edge of a cliff of unknown height holding a bowling ball. She wanted to find the height of the clif
nlexa [21]

Answer:

433 m

Explanation:

Since the fall represents motion under gravity, we use the equation

s = ut - 1/2gt² where s = height of cliff or distance bowling ball falls through, u = initial velocity of bowling ball = 0 m/s(since it starts from rest), t = time = 9.4 s and g = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s².

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

s = 0 m/s × 9.4 s - 1/2 × 9.8 m/s² × (9.4 s)²

s = 0 m - 1/2 × -9.8 m/s² × 88.36 s²

s = 1/2(865.928 m)

s = 432.964

s ≅ 433 m

during a bread making process glucose is converted to ethanol and carbon dioxide causing the bread dough to rise by itself this
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Zymase is acting as a catalyst

Explanation:

Zymase is an enzyme that is naturally produced in yeast. Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up the rates of reactions in living things.

Zymase catalyses the breakdown of glucose into ethanol and carbon dioxide, which causes the bread to rise.

Zymase speeds up this reaction, but is not physically changed itself. Therefore, it is a catalyst.

Actually, zymase represents a collection of enzymes in yeast, not just one!
