Physical Science Dry air expands as it moves upward into the atmosphere. For each 1000 feet that it moves upward, the air cools 5°F. Suppose the temperature at ground level is 80°F.
a. Write a sequence representing the temperature decrease per 1000 feet.
b. If n is the height of the air in thousands of feet, write a formula for the temperature T in terms of n.
c. What is the ground level temperature if the air at 40,000 feet is 125°?
