Answer:

The higher the altitude the colder

Explanation:

Mountains are very high up obviously higher then the ground. It is colder so it makes it easier for mountain climbers to get frost bite because of the high altitude.

Hope this helps:)

Answer:

Because they are in places that may be extremely cold

Explanation:

For example take Mount Everest. This place is a very high mountain, and is very cold. Usually hikers would get a frost bite from how cold it is in there. According to google, "Frostbite is an injury caused by freezing of the skin and underlying tissues."

Seema knows the mass of basketball. What other information is needed to find the balls potential energy
Lelu [443]

Answer: The height (position) of the ball and the acceleration due gravity

Explanation:

In this case we are taking about gravitational potential energy, which is the energy a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field.  In this sense, this energy depends on the relative height of an object with respect to some point of reference and associated with the gravitational force.  

In the case of the Earth, in which the gravitational field is considered constant, the gravitational potential energy U will be:  

U=mgh  

Where:

m is the mass of the ball

g=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity (assuming the ball is on the Earth surface)

h is the height (position) of the ball respect to a given point

Note the value of the gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to the height.

Charge q1 is distance r from a positive point charge q. charge q2=q1/3 is distance 2r from q. what is the ratio u1/u2 of their p
makvit [3.9K]
We need the power law for the change in potential energy (due to the Coulomb force) in bringing a charge q from infinity to distance r from charge Q. We are only interested in the ratio U₁/U₂, so I'm not going to bother with constants (like the permittivity of space). 

<span>The potential energy of charge q is proportional to </span>
<span>∫[s=r to ∞] qQs⁻²ds = -qQs⁻¹|[s=r to ∞] = qQr⁻¹, </span>

<span>so if r₂ = 3r₁ and q₂ = q₁/4, then </span>
<span>U₁/U₂ = q₁Qr₂/(r₁q₂Q) = (q₁/q₂)(r₂/r₁) </span>
<span>= 4•3 = 12.</span>

Given a die, would it be more likely to get a single 6 in six rolls, at least two 6s in twelve rolls, or at least one-hundred 6s
vichka [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

In first case we are interested in one time 6 in six rolls

Thus probability = number of chances required/Total chances

= 1/6

Similarly in the second case probability = 2/12 = 1/6

In the same way in last case probability = 100/600 = 1/6

The probability is the same . Thus all the cases has equal chances

carbon-14 has a half-life of approximately 5,700 years. a fossil shell contain 25% of the original amount of its carbon-14. appr
denis23 [38]

The half-life equation m=m_{0} (\frac{1}{2})^n in which <em>n </em>is equal to the number of half-lives that have passed can be altered to solve for <em>n.</em>

<em>n = \frac{log(\frac{m}{m_{0}} )}{log(\frac{1}{2})}</em>

<em>\frac{log(\frac{.25}{1} )}{log(\frac{1}{2})} = 2</em>

Then, the number of half-lives that passed can be multiplied by the length of a half-life to find the total time.

<em>2 * 5700 =  </em>11400 yr

A wheel completes 5.6 revolutions in 8 seconds.
nevsk [136]

Answer:

86.15\pi rad/min

Explanation: Angular velocity is the number of revolutions made per unit time.

We convert the number of revolutions to radians and the time given in seconds to minutes,

Given;

1rev=2\pi rad\\therefore\\5.6rev=5.6*2\pi rad\\= 11.2\pi rad

Also,

60s = 1 min

hence

8s=\frac{8}{60}min\\=0.13min

We now divide the number of revolution in radians by the time in minutes.

\omega =\frac{11.2\pi}{0.13min}\\\omega=86.15\pi rad/min
