The volume of a cube is given by:

$V=L^3$

where L is the measure of each side (which corresponds to its width, since all sides of a cube are equal).

Plugging the data of the problem, L=32.1 cm, inside the equation, we find the volume:

$V=L^3 =(32.1 cm)^3 =33076.2 cm^3$

Answer:

$\frac{V}{T} = \frac{V'}{T'}$

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Original volume = V

New volume = V'

Original temperature = T

New temperature = T'

To write an expression for Charles's law;

Charles states that when the pressure of an ideal gas is kept constant, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

Mathematically, Charles law is given by the formula;

$\frac {V}{T} = K$

$\frac{V}{T} = \frac{V'}{T'}$

At a meeting of physics teacher in Montana, the teachers were asked to calculate where a flour sack would land if dropped from a

Harlamova29_29 [7]

At a distance of 469.2 m from the original point below the airplane.

Explanation:

First of all, we have to calculate the time it takes for the sack to reach the ground.

To do so, we just analyze its vertical motion, which is a free-fall motion, so we can use the suvat equation:

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where, taking downward as positive direction:

s = 300 m is the vertical displacement

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity

t is the time

$a=g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

Solving for t, we find the it takes for the sack to reach the ground:

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(300)}{9.8}}=7.82 s$

Now we analyze the horizontal motion. The horizontal velocity of the pack is constant (since there are no forces along the horizontal direction) and equal to the initial speed of the airplane, so:

$v_x = 60 m/s$
