<u>Answer:</u>

Cooling because of air expansion is called adiabatic cooling.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The air that is closer to the land or the oceanic surface is usually warmer. It is because the heat trapped by the surface is carried by this air that is close to the surface.
  • When the air expands, it tends to move vertically upwards and lose heat to the surrounding atmosphere.
  • When the air moves vertically upwards, it goes away from the surface and loses its supply of warmth and thus becomes cooler.

The answer is - adiabatic lapse rate.

Adiabatic lapse rate refers to the rate at which the air expansion cools. For the dry air it has the value of 9.8 degrees per kilometer. When the air that is saturated starts rising and cools, the process of condensation of water vapor begins, releasing latent heat in the process.

A problem in mathematics is given to three students A, B and C whose chances of solving it are 1/3, 1/4 and 1/5 respectively. Fi
Tanya [424]

Answer:

i. 3/5

ii. 2/5

Explanation:

Solving the problem by any of the students A, B and C is an independent event as solution by one does not restrict the other one from solving

However, the problem will be solved if even one of them solves the question

Now Probability of not solving the question by A, B and C are

PA (not solving a problem) - 1-1/3 = 2/3

PB (not solving a problem) - 1-1/4 = 3/4

PC (not solving a problem) - 1-1/5 = 4/5

ii) Probability of not solving - 2/3*3/4*4/5 = 2 *1/5 = 2/5

i) Probability of solving - 1- Probability of not solving

= 1 - 2/5 = 3/5
