What is adiabatic heating and cooling?
Adiabatic cooling happens as air mass expands with increasing elevation (because density of gases decreases farther into the atmosphere). As elevation increases, the air gets cooler because energy is drawn from the surroundings. Less dense air traps less heat resulting in this net cooling called adiabatic cooling. It occurs at an average of 6 degrees Celsius per 1000 meters, but it can vary.
What launch angle makes the ball go farther?
yes it does because you can get the maximum distance from a 45 degree angle - at an elevation of 0, but as your beginning height (above the surface) increases the angle for maximum range changes.
Where is the sun's energy more spread out?
The sun's energy spreads out the farther the distance from the sun.
What phase has tightly packed particles?
The phase when the particles are most closely packed together is the solid form. liquid is farther apart, and gases are even farther.
How far will a bullet travel on the moon?
Impossible to answer without knowing, bullet weight and muzzle velocity. Ignoring air resistance (which will allow the bullet to go even farther on the moon than on the earth) the critical factor is how long the bullet takes to reach the ground after leaving the muzzle. For the same horizontally firing height above the surface, the time varies as 1/squarerootofG where G is the acceleration due to gravity. (For a falling object, distance falling S = 1/2 G.t^2) Now G is 1/6 of its value on earth, so it will travel 2.45 times farther on the moon than on earth. More if you consider air resistance.
For a horizontally fired object the faster it goes the farther it will go?
Yes.
What contours lines that are farther apart indicate?
Little change in elevation, or a low gradient
Why as the elevation increases the temperature decreases?
The world is warmed by sunlight, which passes through the (mostly) transparent atmosphere, and warms up the ground. The farther away from the ground you get, the farther you are from the warmth of the ground.
What does contour lines that are farther apart on On topographic maps indicate?
Little change in elevation, or a low gradient
What happens to the surface at a strike slip fault?
The rock gets farther a part from the fault
On what does the range of a projectile depend?
The speed and direction of the wind and the elevation of the machine firing the projectile. If the machine is pointing straight up, the projectile will not go very far. If it is pointing at the right elevation, the projectile will go farther.
In what part of US does it snow in the winter?
It snows in all of the US except for much of Florida, the Gulf Coast, and coastal CA, in general. But snow is more common the farther north you go, farther from coast, and higher up in elevation.
What effect does high elevation have on a regions climate?
Yes that is true because the higher up the colder it gets because you are going farther and farther away from the center of the earth(that is the hottest place on earth).
Would a marble go farther than a rock if launched?
No since a Rock wighs more therefore it has more power and strength to go further.
Elevations in the basins and mountains region?
Elevations in the basins and mountains region can vary greatly, with basins typically lower in elevation and mountains reaching higher elevations. The Basin and Range region in the western United States, for example, features flat basins with elevations around 3,000 to 5,000 feet and rugged mountains reaching elevations of 7,000 feet or more. The specific elevations will depend on the location within the region.
Do golf balls fly farther at higher elevation?
well yes a soccer ball with more air will go further than a soccer ball with no air
How do you use the word farther?
"Farther" is used to indicate physical distance, typically in a comparative sense. For example, "The store is farther away than I thought."
