Answer:
Water gains energy during evaporation and releases it during condensation in the atmosphere
Explanation:
In the water cycle, heat energy is gained or lost by water as it undergoes various processes in the cycle.
In evaporation, water molecules gains energy because the molecules of water vibrate faster and become more energetic. Hence they are able to escape into the atmosphere from the surface of the liquid.
In condensation, the molecules of gaseous water looses energy and becomes liquid.
Hence, water gains energy during evaporation and releases it during condensation in the atmosphere.
Answer. Second Option: .85p_o=p_o e^-.00012h
Solution:
P(h)=Po e^(-0.00012h)
Air pressure: P(h)
Height above the surface of the Earth (in meters): h
Air pressure at the sea level: Po
Height at which air pressure is 85% of the air pressure at sea level:
h=?, P(h)=85% Po
P(h)=(85/100) Po
P(h)=0.85 Po
Replacing P(h) by 0.85 Po in the formula above:
P(h)=Po e^(-0.00012h)
0.85 Po = Po e^(-0.00012h)
The relationship between the two is that air temperature changes the air pressure. For example, as the air warms up the molecules in the air become more active and they use up more individual space even though there is the same<span> number of molecules. This causes an </span>increase<span> in the air pressure.</span>
This correct answer would be C
