Why will a car not accelerate as quickly in the mountains?

This is mainly because the air/fuel mixture is not set for the higher altitudes. The lower atmospheric pressure at higher elevations means the engine will operate leaner then the ideal air/fuel mixture. If you set a vehicle to operate at only high altitudes then it would run to rich and have less power once you left the mountains. This overly lean condition is also why an engine will overheat more easily at high altitudes. The thinner amount of oxygen of higher altitudes also has a very minor role in having less power.


What is the exact longitude of the International date line?

The ideal, technical requirement for an International Dateline would place it exactly on the meridian of 180° longitude, all the way between the north and south poles. But there are several places where that would have split a single village, town, city, state, island, or group of islands into two different calendar dates. (One of them would have been the state of Alaska, and therefor the USA.) In order to avoid doing that, the Dateline was zigged and zagged in a number of places, and substantial parts of it lie along different longitudes.

How pressure cooker follows ideal gas equation?

we know that if the external pressure increases so the boiling point increases too therefore pressure cookers are used at higher altitudes where there are generally low external pressure so pressure cookers provide artificial pressure and food can be cooked earlier


Why are the Philippine has two season?

The Philippines have only two seasons and not four like the other countries because the Philippines is located near the equator. Since the the part where the equator is found is hot and the Philippines is located near the equator, the Philippines is considered as a tropical country which is ideal for us. This is because the spot where the Philippines lies is not very hot and not very cold. Meaning if it is not really cold and not really hot obviously the other seasons cannot happen in the Philippines like winter. this is because it is not cold enough in the Philippines to form snow like the other countries.
