Within the troposphere, on average, the air temperature decreases 6.5 Celsius degrees for every 1000 m increase in altitude (3.5 Fahrenheit degrees per 1000 ft.).Based on these atmospheric conditions, predict the air temperature outside an airplane cruising at 24,000 ft.if the temperature at ground level is 84°F. Assume that the ground is near sea-level.

84 - (3.5 * 24) = ?

0 degrees Fahrenheit

To predict the air temperature outside an airplane cruising at 24,000 ft, we can use the standard lapse rate of temperature decrease in the troposphere.

First, let's convert the ground temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius:
84°F - 32 = 52°C

Now, we can calculate the temperature change per 1000 ft of altitude increase:
3.5°F/1000 ft = 1.94°C/1000 ft

To find the temperature change at 24,000 ft, we divide the altitude by 1000 ft and multiply by the temperature change per 1000 ft:
24,000 ft / 1000 ft = 24
24 x 1.94°C = 46.56°C

Lastly, we subtract the temperature change from the ground temperature:
52°C - 46.56°C = 5.44°C

Therefore, the air temperature outside the airplane cruising at 24,000 ft would be approximately 5.44°C.

To predict the air temperature outside an airplane cruising at 24,000 ft, we can use the given information that the temperature decreases at a rate of 3.5 Fahrenheit degrees per 1000 ft increase in altitude.

First, let's convert the ground temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius:

84°F - 32 = 52°C

Next, we need to calculate the decrease in temperature at the cruising altitude of 24,000 ft:

24,000 ft ÷ 1000 ft = 24 (number of intervals of 1000 ft increase)

Now, we can calculate the decrease in temperature:

24 (number of intervals) x 3.5°F (decrease per interval) = 84°F decrease

Finally, let's convert the decrease in temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius:

84°F - 32 = 52°C decrease

To find the air temperature outside the airplane at 24,000 ft, we subtract the calculated decrease from the ground temperature:

52°C (ground temperature) - 52°C (decrease) = 0°C

Therefore, the air temperature outside the airplane at 24,000 ft is 0°C.
