For temperatures to be used in calculating the effects on performance, the appropriate absolute scale must be used. Assuming you maintain a constant altitude, a decrease in temperature will: Affect air density by decreasing the density Affect air density by increasing the density Have no effect on air density Depend on which level of consideration is in question

1. Global temperature have increased in the past 50 years because of increased solar radiation. True False 2. The average intensity of hurricane seasons has increased over the past 30 years True False 3. Climate change associated deaths show no regional variation. True False

After crossing a mountain top on a warm sunny day, what should cool dry air do? (a) Sink, because it is denser than warmer air below (b) Warm, because the surrounding gas does positive work in causing it to contract (c) Not change, as the surrounding air transfers little thermal energy by heating $(Q \approx 0)$ (d) a and b are correct.
