Answer:

Higher, Windward side, Condenses

Explanation:

The Windward side refers to that side of a mountain that faces the direction from which the wind is blowing. In this direction, the moisture containing hot air blowing from a distant place moves upward and strikes the mountain at a greater height, where the air mass is thin and the temperature is relatively cold. As the temperature and pressure decrease with altitude, the hot uprising air cools and gradually condenses. This results in the occurrence of high precipitation over this region i.e. the windward side of the mountain.

Therefore, the precipitation is always higher on the windward side of a mountain as the hot air undergoes condensation at greater height as it rises upward.

In a displacement versus time graph, what does the slope of a line at any point indicate?

Rom4ik [11]

In a displacement versus time graph, the slope of the line at any point on the graph indicates the magnitude of velocity.

(It can't indicate velocity completely, because the graph shows nothing about the direction of the motion.)

Which is a diatomic molecule? A. Ar B. CO C. CO2 D. NaCl

snow_tiger [21]

Answer: B. CO

Explanation:

Diatomic molecules are those that are formed by two atoms of the same chemical element (homonuclear diatomic molecule) or different chemical element (heteronuclear diatomic molecule).

In this sense, oxygen is a homonuclear diatomic molecule because it is formed by two atoms of the same element ( $O_{2}$ ) and Carbon monoxide ( $CO$ ) is heteronuclear diatomic molecule.

Sodium Chloride $NaCl$ is not a diatomic molecule because is a product of ionization, but it can be diatomic in its gas phase with a polar covalent bond.

A car is driving along a road at a speed of 50 km/hr. How far will the car travel in 5 hours?

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

I think it's 250

Explanation:

If the car is traveling 50 km/hr that means every hour, the car drives 50 km. So if you want to know how far it will go in 5 hours you do 50x5.
