The answer is the second one (or B): condensation.

Explanation for each option:

  • Sublimation: This is the process where a solid changes directly into a gas without passing through the liquid phase. This is not what is happening in this scenario.
  • Condensation: This is the process where water vapor in the air changes into liquid water. The water droplets on the outside of the glass are formed because the warm, humid air comes into contact with the cold surface of the glass, causing the water vapor to cool and condense into liquid droplets.
  • Precipitation: This is the process where water in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail falls from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface. This is not what is happening in this scenario.

Summary: The process you are witnessing is condensation, where water vapor in the air condenses into liquid water on the cold surface of the glass.

Consider the function h(t) = (9 cos(t) - 9) / t^2. Can you plug t=0 into this function? No Yes Fill in the table below to look at the behavior near t=0. Enter UNDEFINED if the function is undefined. Round answers to three decimal places. t h(t) 1 0.5 0.1 0.01 0 -0.01 -0.1 -0.5 -1 Estimate the value of lim t -> 0 h(t) = If the limit does not exist, write DNE. Round your answer to one decimal place.
