Mt Everest is at the height of 8850 m; its base is at an elevation of 5400m. The temperature here drops at the rate of 1 degree per 100m. If temperature at the base is -5, what will be the temperature at the top?

The temperature at the top is -39.5 degree

Explanation:

The height of Mt Everest = 8850 m

The base is at the elevation of = 5400 m

The drop in temperature = 1 degree per 100 m

At the base, the temperature = -5

Since every 100 meter rise in height results in the one degree drop of temperature. Therefore, first find the difference between the base and height. Multiply with negative one.

Difference in heights = 8850 – 5400 = 3450

The temperature at the top = (3450 / 100) + 5 = -39.5 degree

Since there is fall in temperature so we use negative sign.

adding a(n) to an electric circuit would increase the magnetic field around a wire;

b. solenoid

a solenoid is a type of electromagnet whose purpose is to generate a controlled magnetic field.

if the purpose of the solenoid is instead to impede changes in the electric current, a solenoid can be more specifically classified as an inductor rather than an electromagnet.
