What causes the pressure exerted by a gas in a container

2 answers:

Gas pressure is caused when gas particles hit the walls of their container. The more often the particles hit the walls, and the faster they are moving when they do this, the higher the pressure. This is why the pressure in a tire or balloon goes up when more air is pumped in.

The rapid motion and collisions of molecules with the walls of the container causes pressure (force on a unit area). Pressure is proportional to the number of molecular collisions and the force of the collisions in a particular area. The more collisions of gas molecules with the walls, the higher the pressure.

I hope this helps you.

KiRa [710]

Answer:

The maximum amount of meat that the butcher can sell is $3\frac{1}{12}\:lb$

Explanation:

The maximum amount can be found by taking the difference of mixed numbers.

$5\frac{3}{4}-2\frac{2}{3}\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:5-2=3\\\\\mathrm{Combine\:fractions:\:}\frac{3}{4}-\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{12}\\\\=3\frac{1}{12}\\$

Ashkon throws a basketball across the court to his teammate. The ball has 57 J of potential energy and 61 J of kinetic energy. W

Gwar [14]

The total mechanical energy of the ball is the sum of its potential energy U and its kinetic energy K, therefore:
$E=U+K=57 J+61 J=118 J$
so, the total mechanical energy of the basketball is 118 J.

Light incident upon a pane of glass slows down in passing through the glass, Does it emerge at a slower speed or at its initial

Simora [160]

Answer:

It will emerge at its initial speed not a slower speed.

Explanation:

It will emerge at the initial speed because the medium at the point of emergence is the same as the medium before incidence.

Light moves at a constant speed in any particular medium. Hence, the speed of light in air is constant in air and the speed of light in glass is constant in glass.
