During certain seasons strong winds called chinooks blow from the west across the eastern slopes of the rockies and downhill into denver and nearby areas. although the mountains are cool, the wind in denver is very hot; within a few minutes after the chinook wind arrives, the temperature can climb [math]20 \mathrm{c}^{\circ}[/math] ("chinook" refers to a native american people of the pacific northwest). similar winds occur in the alps (called foehns) and in southern california (called santa anas). (a) explain why the temperature of the chinook wind rises as it descends the slopes. why is it important that the wind be fast moving? (b) suppose a strong wind is blowing toward denver (elevation 1630 m) from grays peak (80 km west of denver, at an elevation of 4350 m), where the air pressure is [math]5.60 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{pa}[/math] and the air temperature is [math]-15.0^{\circ} c[/math]. the temperature and pressure in denver before the wind arrives are [math]2.0^{\circ} c[/math] and [math]8.12 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{pa}[/math]. by how many celsius degrees will the temperature in denver rise when the chinook arrives?

Simon is writing a story about an astronaut whose spacecraft has been boarded by space pirates. the astronaut has her lucky penny in her hand behind her back as the space pirates break into the control room. she has just locked the controls so that the ship is accelerating in the direction of the control room’s ceiling. simon wants the astronaut to use the penny to hit a button on the control panel to turn off the lights and escape. the button is located a short distance behind and below the astronaut’s hands. how should simon use the theory of relativity to describe what the astronaut must do in order to hit the button?
