If a 30 °C air parcel rises from sea level to 3000 meters altitude and cools at the dry adiabatic rate, what will be its tempera

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

$0^\circ C$

Explanation:

Dry adiabatic lapse rate is defined as:

$\Gamma = 9.8 ^\circ C/km$

The air rises 3000 m, that is 3 km.

If it cools $9.8 ^\circ C$ each km its temperature drops approximately $30 ^\circ C$ . From 30 to 0.

A population density map of the world shows that the distribution of people is most obviously affected by

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

A population density map is used to define as a map that shows the presence of a number of the population existing in any particular area. It directly reflects the dispersion of people that are mainly affected by environmental factors. This includes the variable amount of natural resources present in that area, the type of climate prevailing, the topography of the area and the availability of water resources.

The places which are rich in resources and low lying areas, with plenty of water resources and moderate type of climate are comprised of high-density population. On the other hand, the places which are highly elevated, lack of resources and extreme cold and hot climate are comprised of a lesser population.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (negative 3, negative 3) and (negative 1, 5). What is the equation of the line parall

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

y=4x-16

Explanation:

The general form of the equation of a line is: y=mx+x, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

Given points (-3,-3) and (-1,5)

We are to find the equation of the line parallel to the given line with an x-intercept of 4.

First, we determine the value of the gradient of the line.

Gradient,

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\=\frac{5-(-3)}{-1-(-3)} \\=\frac{5+3}{-1+3}\\=\frac{8}{2}\\m=4$

Two lines are parallel if their gradients $m_1 \: and \: m_2$ are equal.

The gradient of the line parallel to the given line $m_2=4$

Since the x-intercept of the new line is 4, a point on the new line, $(x_1,y_1)=(4,0)$

Substituting $(x_1,y_1)=(4,0)$ into the equation of a line: , $y-y_1=m(x-x_1),$ we have:

$y-0=4(x-4)\\$Therefore:\\y=4x-16$

Therefore, the equation of the line is: y=4x-16
