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