If it is 75 degrees Fahrenheit at ground level, what is the temperature at 4000ft (under normal circumstances)?
A.
32 degrees Fahrenheit
B.
42 degrees Fahrenheit
C.
45 degrees Fahrenheit
D.
53 degrees Fahrenheit
E.
58 degrees Fahrenheit
temperature decrease=-5.4F/1000ft * 4000ft=-22F
75-22=53F
Well, at 4000ft, the temperature might not be as hot as the ground level. It's like going to a high-class party but finding out it's not as hot as you expected. So, I'd say the temperature at 4000ft is a cool 58 degrees Fahrenheit (E). It's like finding a nice, refreshing breeze up there. Enjoy the coolness!
The temperature decreases by approximately 3.5 degrees Fahrenheit for every 1000 feet of elevation gain. So, if it is 75 degrees Fahrenheit at ground level and we increase the elevation by 4000 feet, the temperature would decrease by 3.5 degrees Fahrenheit per 1000 feet, three times. Therefore, the temperature at 4000 feet would be approximately 75 - (3.5 x 3) = 75 - 10.5 = 64.5 degrees Fahrenheit. Since none of the given options matches exactly with 64.5 degrees Fahrenheit, we can round it to the nearest option, which is 58 degrees Fahrenheit (option E).
To determine the temperature at 4000ft, we need to take into account the change in temperature with altitude. On average, the temperature drops by around 3.5 degrees Fahrenheit per 1000ft in the atmosphere.
Given that the temperature at ground level is 75 degrees Fahrenheit, we can calculate the temperature at 4000ft as follows:
Temperature change per 1000ft: -3.5 degrees Fahrenheit
Altitude difference: 4000ft / 1000ft = 4
So, the temperature at 4000ft would be:
75 degrees Fahrenheit - (3.5 degrees Fahrenheit * 4) = 75 degrees Fahrenheit - 14 degrees Fahrenheit = 61 degrees Fahrenheit
Therefore, none of the given answer choices are correct. The temperature at 4000ft would be approximately 61 degrees Fahrenheit.
