Why is it cold in the mountains if heat rises?

Physics
1 answer:

Answer:

look at explanation

Explanation:

If heat rises, then why is it so cold at the top of a mountain? Heat does indeed rise. More specifically, a mass of air that is warmer than the air around it expands, becomes less dense, and will therefore float atop the cooler air. ... So when warm air rises, it cools off.

After being struck by a bowling ball, a 1.3 kg bowling pin sliding to the right at 5.0 m/s collides head-on with another 1.3 kg
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

a) 4.2m/s

b) 5.0m/s

Explanation:

This problem is solved using the principle of conservation of linear momentum which states that in a closed system of colliding bodies, the sum of the total momenta before collision is equal to the sum of the total momenta after collision.

The problem is also an illustration of elastic collision where there is no loss in kinetic energy.

Equation (1) is a mathematical representation of the the principle of conservation of linear momentum for two colliding bodies of masses m_1 and m_2 whose respective velocities before collision are u_1 and u_2;

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2..............(1)

where v_1 and v_2 are their respective velocities after collision.

Given;

m_1=1.3kg\\u_1=5m/s\\m_2=1.3kg\\u_2=0m/s

Note that u_2=0 because the second mass m_2 was at rest before the collision.

Also, since the two masses are equal, we can say that m_1=m_2=m so that equation (1) is reduced as follows;

mu_1+mu_2=mv_1+mv_2\\\\m(u_1+u_2)=m(v_1+v_2)..............(2)

m cancels out of both sides of equation (2), and we obtain the following;

u_1+u_2=v_1+v_2.............(3)

a) When v_1=0.8m/s, we obtain the following by equation(3)

5+0=0.8+v_2\\hence\\v_2=5-0.8\\v_2=4.2m/s

b) As m_1 stops moving v_1=0, therefore,

5+0=0+v_2\\v_2=5m/s

Dimension for electric charge
Artemon [7]

Answer:

AT

Explanation:

Dimensions of current = A

Dimensions of time = T

Current = Charge / time

Therefore Charge = Current × time

                 [Charge] = [Current] × [time]

                                 = AT

A 7.5 kg block is placed on a table. If it's bottom surface area is 0.6m2, how much pressure does the block exert on the tableto
kap26 [50]
Pressure is defined as the force per unit area. This measurement is more convenient to use for describing a force exerted. The standard unit for pressure is Pascal. For this problem, force is the gravitational pull from the block. Calculations are as follows:

P = F/A where F = mg

F = 7.5 ( 9.81) = 73.6 N

<span>P = 73.6 N / 0.6 m^2 = </span><span>122.5 Pa

Thus, the answer is D.
