1a) If the atmospheric condition at sea level is 101.3 kPa and 18oC, estimate and plot the pressure as a function of elevation for the following conditions:

i. Air temperature is constant.
ii. Air temperature decreases linearly with elevation at a rate of 6.0oC/km.

1b) Use the result above to estimate pressure and temperature of air on top of Mount Everest (height ~ 8,800 m). State all assumptions used.

Question 1. The height of a mercury column for atmospheric pressure at sea level is h = 0.760 + or - 0.003m of mercury (m-Hg).If the density of mercury is p = 13600 + or - 1000kg/m3 and the acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 + or - 0.1ms-2 , determine the value of atmospheric pressure Po = pgh and its uncertainty in SI units. Question 2. A particle is moving in a straight line so that its velocity...

At some location and at some initial time the atmospheric pressure at sea level is 1000mb and the temperature between sea level and 900mb surface is 0°C. The atmosphere is in hydrostatic balance. (a) What is the height above sea level of the 900mb surface? (b) Over a period of one day the temperature of sea level and the 900mb surface rises from 0 to 3°C, but the height of the 900mb surface does not change. What is the new...

1a) Starting at the level of the external environment, identify the environmental condition and series of steps that would be required to hyperpolarize an ‘on’ bipolar cell. Assume that the photoreceptor is wired directly to the bipolar cell. 1b) How would the environmental condition and/or series of steps in part 1a) be different (if at all) if you had hyperpolarized an ‘off’ bipolar cell? Again, assume that the photoreceptor is wired directly to the bipolar cell. 1c) In question 1b),...
