1.
As dry air moves upward, it expands and cools. If the ground temperature is $20^{\circ}C$ and the temperature at height of 1 km is $10^{\circ}C$, express the temperature $T$ (in $^{\circ}C$) as a function of the height $h$ (in kilometer), assuming that linear model is appropriate. (a) Draw a graph of the function in part (b). What does the slope represent? (c) What is the temperature at a height of 2.5 km? [5+5]
