Why do surface winds tend to cross the isobars?

Athermometer is removed from a room where the temperature is 70° f and is taken outside, where the air temperature is 10° f. after one-half minute the thermometer reads 60° f. what is the reading of the thermometer at t = 1 min? (round your answer to two decimal places.) ° f how long will it take for the thermometer to reach 30° f? (round your answer to two decimal places.)

1point) a skydiver weighing 130 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 14,000 ft and opens the parachute after 20 s of free fall. assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 0.85|v|0.85|v| when the parachute is closed and is of magnitude 17|v|17|v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity vv is measured in ft/s. assume that acceleration due to gravity has magnitude 32 ft/s/s; remember that weight is the product of mass and gravitational acceleration. find the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens. speed is 150.6121788 ft/s find the skydiver's height when the parachute opens. height is 2338.98591 ft find the limiting velocity vlvl after the parachute opens. (think about whether this should be positive or negative.) vl=vl= 7.647 ft/s

When a spring is compressed, the energy changes from kinetic to potential. which best describes what is causing this change? work power gravitational energy chemical energy
