Answer:

lose, higher

Explanation:

An aircraft lose altitude when flying from a region of higher temperature to a region of cooler temperature, hence making the reading on the altimeter to be high.

Answer:

An aircraft flying from a region of warmer air towards a region of colder air will _____ altitude, and the altimeter will read an altitude _____than the plane’s true elevation, unless corrections are made to the altimeter.

A. lose; lower

B. gain; lower

C. lose; higher

D. gain; higher

The correct option is 'B' gain; lower

Explanation:

When an aircraft flies from a region of warm air to a region of colder air there is an increase in the altitude,  caused by the pressure created at these elevations. The altimeter will not show this increase in altitude and will remain constant, thus the reading of altimeter is lower when compared to the true elevation of the plane.

With the process happening repeatedly when the aircraft flies from the region of warm to cold air, the altimeter will read a higher value.  On the other hand, if the aircraft flies from a region of cold air to warm air, the altimeter will read a lower value.

The altimeter reading can be made accurate if corrected.

Two objects with masses m and 3m are connected by a compressed spring so that the energy stored in the spring is 375 joules. If
cluponka [151]

Answer:

281.25 J

Explanation:

We are told that the two objects with masses m and 3m.

Also that energy stored in the spring is 375 joules.

Now, initially the centre of mass of the system took place at rest, it means v1 = v and v2 = v/3

Thus, from principle of conservation of energy, we have;

½mv² + ½(3m)(v/3)² = 375J

(m + 3m/9)½v² = 375

(4/3)m × ½v² = 375

Multiply both sides by ¾ to get;

½mv² = 375 × ¾

½mv² = 281.25 J

Therefore, energy of lighter body is 281.25 J

A mover loads a 100 kg box into the back of a moving truck by
NeX [460]

Answer:

2.7

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) of box = 100 Kg

Length (L) of ramp = 4 m

Height (H) of ramp = 1.5 m

Mechanical advantage (MA) of ramp =?

Mechanical advantage of a ramp is simply defined as the ratio of the length of the ramp to the height of the ramp. Mathematically, it is given by:

Mechanical Advantage = Lenght / height

MA= L/H

With the above formula, we can obtain the mechanical advantage of the ramp as follow:

Length (L) of ramp = 4 m

Height (H) of ramp = 1.5 m

Mechanical advantage (MA) of ramp =?

MA = 4/1.5

MA = 2.7

Therefore, the mechanical advantage of the ramp is 2.7

True or false Scientific endeavor is driven by both simple curiosity as well as societal demands
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

its true that Scientific endeavor is driven by both simple curiosity as well as societal demands.

Explanation:

When a scientist has a curiosity about something he carried out a research. and when their is a demand of something in society that time scientific research is carried out. Therefore its true that a scientific endeavor is driven by  simple curiosity or societal demand.

For example

in society, there is demand of a medicine which can completely kill the cancer  and a scientist has curiosity to know how to kill cancer cell. In this way a scientific endeavor for cancer medicine can be carried out by both simple curiosity as well as societal demands.
