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.

A fruit-and-oatmeal bar contains 142 nutritional Calories. Convert this energy to calories
madreJ [45]

Answer:

a fruit and oatmeal bar contains 142000 calories.

A nutritional calorie, or kilocalorie, is equal to 1000 calories.

E = 142 kcal · 1000 cal/kcal.

E = 142 000 cal.

Calorie (cal), or small calorie, is the amount of energy needed to heat one gram of water by one degree Celsius.

One small calorie is approximately 4.2 joules.

A calorie is a unit of energy.
