During certain seasons strong winds called chinooks blow from the west across the eastern slopes of the rockies and downhill into denver and nearby areas. although the mountains are cool, the wind in denver is very hot; within a few minutes after the chinook wind arrives, the temperature can climb [math]20 \mathrm{c}^{\circ}[/math] ("chinook" refers to a native american people of the pacific northwest). similar winds occur in the alps (called foehns) and in southern california (called santa anas). (a) explain why the temperature of the chinook wind rises as it descends the slopes. why is it important that the wind be fast moving? (b) suppose a strong wind is blowing toward denver (elevation 1630 m) from grays peak (80 km west of denver, at an elevation of 4350 m), where the air pressure is [math]5.60 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{pa}[/math] and the air temperature is [math]-15.0^{\circ} c[/math]. the temperature and pressure in denver before the wind arrives are [math]2.0^{\circ} c[/math] and [math]8.12 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{pa}[/math]. by how many celsius degrees will the temperature in denver rise when the chinook arrives?

In a simplified model of the human eye, the aqueous and vitreous humors and the lens all have a refractive index of 1.40, and all the refraction occurs at the cornea, whose vertex is 2.60 cm from the retina. what should be the radius of curvature of the cornea such that the image of an object 40.0 cm from the cornea’s vertex is focused on the retina?

Students in an introductory physics lab are performing an experiment with a parallel-plate capacitor made of two circular aluminum plates, each 11 cm in diameter, separated by 1.0 cm. how much charge can be added to each of the plates before a spark jumps between the two plates? for such flat electrodes, assume that value of 3×106n/c of the field causes a spark.
