Answer:

The pressure of the gas will increase

Explanation:

When gas is put into a container, for example, a balloon, the gas expands to fill the space it can occupy. Since gas is not a solid or a liquid, its particles are all over the place - they are constantly moving and vibrating. As such, when too much gas is blown into a balloon, it will pop. So, when the volume of the container decreases, the pressure of the gas will increase the smaller it gets. Vice versa, the greater the space, the less pressure that will be present in the container.

A particle with charge 3.20×10−19 c is placed on the x axis in a region where the electric potential due to other charges increa

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

-5 V

Explanation:

The charged particle (which is positively charged) moves from point A to B, and its kinetic energy increases: it means that the particle is following the direction of the field, so its potential energy is decreasing (because it's been converted into potential energy), therefore it is moving from a point at higher potential (A) to a point at lower potential (B). This means that the value

vb−va

is negative.

We can calculate the potential difference between the two points by using the law of conservation of energy:

$\Delta K+ \Delta U=0\\\Delta K + q\Delta V=0$

where:

$\Delta K=+1.6\cdot 10^{-18} J$ is the change in kinetic energy of the particle

$q=3.2\cdot 10^{-19} C$ is the charge of the particle

$\Delta V =V_b-V_a$ is the potential difference

Re-arranging the equation, we can find the value of the potential difference:

$\Delta V=V_b-V_a = -\frac{\Delta K}{q}=-\frac{1.6\cdot 10^{-18} J}{3.2\cdot 10^{-19} C}=-5 V$

Light in vacuum travels at a speed of 3.00 x 10^8 m ^-1 s^-1 on average earth is 93,000,000 miles from the sun how many minutes

NemiM [27]

The correct unit for the speed of light is [ m s⁻¹ ].

Time = (distance) / (speed)

Time = (9.3 x 10^7 miles) x (1609 m/mile) / (3 x 10^8 m/s) = 498.8 seconds .

That would be <em>8.31 minutes</em>.
