Explanation:

Climbing a mountain is similar to hiking from the equator to the pole because in both cases temperature decreases.
The higher you go, the cooler it becomes.
For a certain elevation, there is particular drop in temperature. High altitudes offers cooler temperatures.
The equator receives a huge insolation and the sun is overhead there.
It implies that the temperature is always high around the equatorial region.
As one increases latitude, the temperature drops and its is coldest at the pole.
In both cases, temperature drops and it gets colder.

Natali [406]

Answer:

A) 0.0 kJ

Explanation:

Change in the internal energy of the gas is a state function

which means it will not depends on the process but it will depends on the initial and final state

Also we know that internal energy is a function of temperature only

so here the process is given as isothermal process in which temperature will remain constant always

here we know that

$\Delta U = \frac{3}{2}nR\Delta T$

now for isothermal process since temperature change is zero

so change in internal energy must be ZERO

When light energy hits the retina, the retinal changes from a _____ to a _____ configuration.

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Cis, Trans.

Explanation:

Rhodopsin also known as visual purple, pigment which contains sensory protein that helps to convert light into an electrical signal. Rhodopsin present in wide range of organisms from bacteria to vertebrates.

Rhodopsin is composed of opsin, and 11-cis-retinaldehyde which is derived from vitamin A. When the eye contact with light the 11-cis component converted to all trans-retinal, which results in the changes in configuration fundamental in the rhodopsin molecule.

The human ear canal is, on average, 2.5cm long and aids in hearing by acting like a resonant cavity that is closed on one end an

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

$3400$ Hz

Explanation:

We know that

1 cm = 0.01 m

$L$ = Length of the human ear canal = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m

$V$ = Speed of sound = 340 ms⁻¹

$f$ = First resonant frequency

The human ear canal behaves as a closed pipe and for a closed pipe, nth resonant frequency is given as

$f = \frac{(2n - 1)V}{4L}$

for first resonant frequency, we have n = 1

Inserting the values

$f = \frac{(2(1) - 1) 340}{4(0.025)}$

$f = \frac{340}{4(0.025)}$

$f = 3400$ Hz

The magnetic field around a current-carrying wire is ________proportional to the current and _________proportional to the distan

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:Thus, The magnetic field around a current-carrying wire is directly proportional to the current and inversely proportional to the distance from the wire. If the current triples while the distance doubles, the strength of the magnetic field increases by one and half (1.5) times.

Explanation:

Magnetic field around a long current carrying wire is given by

$B=\frac{\mu _o I}{2\pi r}$

where B= magnetic field

$\mu _o=$ permeability of free space

I= current in the long wire and

r= distance from the current carrying wire

Thus, The magnetic field around a current-carrying wire is directly proportional to the current and inversely proportional to the distance from the wire.

Now if I'=3I and r'=2r then magnetic field B' is given by

$B'=\frac{\mu _oI'}{2\pi r'}=\frac{\mu _o3I}{2\pi 2r}=1.5B$

Thus If the current triples while the distance doubles, the strength of the magnetic field increases by one and half (1.5) times.
