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.

Note: The answer choices are :

a) Increased

b) Decreased

c) stayed the same

Answer:

The correct option is Increased

The magnitude of the electric field potential difference between the wingtips increases.

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric potential difference is the induced emf and is given by the equation:

emf = l (v \times B)

where l = length

v = velocity

B = magnetic field

As the altitude of the airplane increases, the magnetic flux becomes stronger, the speed of the airplane becomes perpendicular to the magnetic field, i.e. v \times B = vB sin90 = vB\\ ,

the induced emf = vlB, and thus increases.

The magnitude of the electric field potential difference between the wingtips increases

Why doesn't the force of gravity change the speed of a bowling ball as it rolls along a bowling lane?
Oliga [24]
Because the gravitational force, which points downward, is perfectly balanced by the normal reaction of the floor of the bowling lane, which points upward. The two forces are equal in magnitude, so the net force acting vertically on the bowling ball is zero, therefore there is no acceleration along this direction. Moreover, since the ball is moving in the horizontal direction, the gravitational force has no component along this direction, so it does not change the velocity of the ball.

Debido al desorden en el laboratorio un científico tiene 2 termómetros diferentes pero no sabe en qué escalas están por lo que d
just olya [345]

Answer:

La escala del termómetro ''A'' es grados Celsius.

La escala del termómetro ''B'' es grados Fahrenheit.

Explanation:

Para hallar en qué escalas están los termómetros partimos de que la mezcla a la cuál se midió su temperatura mantuvo su temperatura constante.

Esto quiere decir que los termómetros están expresando la misma temperatura pero en una escala distinta.

Sabemos que dada una temperatura en grados Celsius ''C'' si la queremos convertir a grados Fahrenheit ''F'' debemos utilizar la siguiente ecuación :

F=(\frac{9}{5})C+32 (I)

Ahora, si reemplazamos y asumimos que la temperatura de 18° es en grados Celsius, entonces si reemplazamos C=18 en la ecuación (I) deberíamos obtener F=64.4 ⇒

F=(\frac{9}{5}).(18)+32=32.4+32=64.4

Efectivamente obtenemos el valor esperado. Finalmente, corroboramos que la temperatura del termómetro ''A'' está medida en grados Celsius y la temperatura del termómetro ''B'' en grados Fahrenheit.
