The warm air rises, because it has become less dense as a result of increase in temperature from heating. Since it is heated, it expands and becomes less dense and such it rises.

The cold air, as result of decrease in temperature contracts, and becomes denser. The cold air is denser than the warm air. The cold air, being the denser sinks. So the cold air sinks because it is denser and heavier than warm air.

8. A car travels at a constant velocity of 70 mph for one hour. By the end of the second hour, the car’s velocity was 60 mph. At
Mrac [35]

<u>Answer:</u>

  Positive acceleration is in third hour and negative acceleration is in second hour.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  Velocity of car in first hour =  70 mph

  Velocity of car in second hour = 60 mph

  Velocity of car in third hour = 80 mph

   Acceleration = Change in velocity / Time

   Acceleration in second hour = (60 - 70)/1 = -10 mph²

   Acceleration in third hour = (80 - 60)/1 = 20 mph²

   So positive acceleration is in third hour and negative acceleration is in second hour.

A MEMS-based accelerometer has a mass of m = 2 grams, an equivalent spring constant of k = 5 N/m, and an equivalent damping coef
pychu [463]

Answer:

The natural frequency = 50 rad/s = 7.96 Hz

Damping ratio = 0.5

Explanation:

The natural frequency is calculated in this manner

w = √(k/m)

k = spring constant = 5 N/m

m = mass = 2 g = 0.002 kg

w = √(5/0.002) = 50 rad/s

w = 2πf

50 = 2πf

f = 50/(2π) = 7.96 Hz

Damping ratio = c/[2√(mk)] = 0.1/(2 × √(5 × 0.002)) = 0.5
