Question

1. Consider two equal size rooms conected by an open door. One room is maintained at a higher temperature than the other one. Which room contimes more air molecules?

More molecules are in the warmer room. or More molecules are in the cooler room.    

2. Release a single molecule in an evacuated region. Will it fall differently than a baseball in the same region?

Yes or No    

3. If we warm a volume of air, it expands. Does it then follow that if we expand a volume of air, it warms?

Yes or No    

4. If the composition of the upper atmosphere were changed so that it permitted a greater amount of terrestrial radiation to escape, what effect would this have on the Earth's climate?

earth's climate would become cool temperature would be constant     earth's climate would become warm


5. How about if the atmosphere reduced the escape of terrestrial radiation?

temperature would be constant , earth's climate would become warm , earth's climate would become cool

Explanation / Answer

The cooler room because tempurature has a positive relation with pressure meaning that if tempurature goes up, pressure goes up. The air in the hot room takes up more space, but the pressure does not increase proportionally because some air molecules just flow into the cooler room.
