Question

Представьте, что вы совершаете воздушный перелет из аэропорта Минска. После набора высоты пассажирам объявили, что температура воздуха в аэропорту вылета была+12, а за бортом самолёта - 18. Определите, на какой высоте летит ваш самолёт?

Answer 1

Темпер. меняется с высотой на 6 град.
Определим на сколько гра. снизилась темпер. Сложим модули температуры
12 + 18 = 30 град
30 : 6 = 5 км

Answer 2

Determining the Flight Altitude

To determine the altitude at which the airplane is flying, we need to compare the temperature at the departure airport (Minsk) with the temperature outside the aircraft. According to the information provided, the temperature at the departure airport was 12 degrees Celsius, while the temperature outside the aircraft is 18 degrees Celsius.

To find the altitude at which the airplane is flying, we can use the International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) lapse rate. The ISA lapse rate states that the temperature decreases by approximately 2 degrees Celsius per 1,000 feet of altitude gain.

Let's calculate the altitude at which the airplane is flying:

1. Calculate the temperature difference between the departure airport and the outside temperature: 18 - 12 = 6 degrees Celsius.

2. Divide the temperature difference by the lapse rate of 2 degrees Celsius per 1,000 feet: 6 / 2 = 3.

3. Multiply the result by 1,000 to convert it to feet: 3 * 1,000 = 3,000 feet.

Therefore, the airplane is flying at an altitude of approximately 3,000 feet.

Please note that this calculation is an approximation based on the ISA lapse rate and may not reflect the exact altitude of the airplane.
