Question

17. One thermometer that is 2 meters above the floor shows a temperature of 32° C. A thermometer on

the floor shows a temperature of 24° C. What is the temperature gradient between the two

thermometers?

Answer 1

Answer: 4°C/m

Step-by-step explanation:

Temperature gradient = Difference in temperature/ Difference in height

Difference in temperature = 32 - 24

= 8°C

Difference in height = 2 meters

Temperature gradient = 8 / 2

= 4°C/m
