Because the pressure falls, water boils at a lower temperature with increasing altitude. Consequently, cake mixes and boiled egg

s, among other foods, must be cooked different lengths of time. Determine the boiling temperature of water at 1000 and 2000 m elevation on a standard day, and compare with the sea-level value

Answer:

1) The boiling point of water reduces by 3.28°C at 1,000 m above sea-level

2) The boiling point of water reduces by 6.56°C at 2,000 m above sea-level

Explanation:

The variation of the boiling point of water with elevation is given as follows

The boiling point reduces by 0.5°C for every 152.4 meter increase in elevation

At sea-level, the boiling point temperature of water = 100°C

1) At 1,000 m elevation, the boiling point temperature, T = 100 - (1,000/152.4) × 0.5 ≈ 96.72 °C

Therefore, the boiling point of water reduces by 100° - 96.72° = 3.28°C at 1,000 m above sea-level

2) At 2,000 m elevation, the boiling point temperature, T = 100 - (2,000/152.4) × 0.5 ≈ 93.44°C

The boiling point of water reduces by 100° - 93.44° = 6.56°C at 2,000 m above sea-level

if you push your chair across the floor at a constant velocity how does the force of friction compare with the force you exert?
Alik [6]
-- If velocity is constant, then there is no net force
on the chair.

-- If there is no net force on the chair, then friction
must exactly balance out your push.

-- The force of friction is exactly equal in magnitude
to your push, and in exactly the opposite direction.
