Desert Cooler works because of the principle of "Evaporative Cooling" . The sprayed water removes the latent heat from the air inside the room and makes the air in the room colder. This works well in summer when the outside temperature is high and the moisture content is very low. It fails when the air...

Why when a ball dropped from a height, its speed continuously increased?
the potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy so obviously yes. as velocity is the only variable , as the height decreases, there should be a corresponding increase in the velocity. (potential energy = mgh, kinetic energy = 1/2 mvxv
