Both are constants used in the definition of Forces (gravitational and electric,respectively)

Since those constants are proportional to the magnitude of the forces:

Having a small gravitational constant explains why there is no apparent force of attraction with objects of considerable low mass (they would need to have great value of mass for the equation to give an apreciable force)

Electrical interactions are usually strong, and thus require an appropiate constant to depict the phenomenon. We deal in this case with charges really small, but the forces are in different order of magnitude.

How do you work out instantaneous speed?
Alik [6]
To calculate instantaneous speed, we need to divide part of the total distance traveled by time. However, we don't want to use the distance of the entire trip, because that will give us average speed.

If the pressure inside the cylinder increases to 1.6 atm, what is the final volume, in milliliters, of the cylinder?
Bess [88]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

The air in the cylinder with a piston has a volume of 220 mL and a pressure of 650 mmHg.

If the pressure inside the cylinder increases to 1.6 atm, what is the final volume, in milliliters, of the cylinder?

Answer : The final volume of the cylinder is, 117.6 mL

Explanation :

Boyle's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

P\propto \frac{1}{V}

or,

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 650 mmHg = 0.855 atm   (1 atm = 760 mmHg)

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 1.6 atm

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 220 mL

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

0.855atm\times 220mL=1.6atm\times V_2

V_2=117.6mL

Therefore, the final volume of the cylinder is, 117.6 mL
