<h3>Answer:</h3>

189.07 kPa

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Concept tested: Boyle's law

<u>We are given;</u>

  • Initial volume of the syringe, V1 is 16 cm³
  • Initial pressure of the syringe, P1 is 1.03 atm
  • New volume of the syringe, V2 is 8.83 cm³

We are required to calculate the new pressure of the syringe;

  • We are going to use the concept on Boyle's law of gases.
  • According to the Boyle's law, for a fixed mass of a gas, the pressure is inversely proportional to its volume at constant temperature.
  • That is; P α 1/V
  • At varying pressure and volume, k(constant)  = PV and P1V1=P2V2

Therefore, to get the new pressure, P2, we rearrange the formula;

P2 = P1V1 ÷ V2

     = ( 16 cm³ × 1.03 atm) ÷ 8.83 cm³

    = 1.866 atm.

  • Thus, the new pressure is 1.866 atm
  • But, we need to convert pressure to Kpa
  • Conversion factor is 101.325 kPa/atm

Thus;

Pressure = 1.866 atm × 101.325 kPa/atm

               = 189.07 kPa

Hence, the new pressure of the air in the syringe is 189.07 kPa

What is the torque about the center of the sun due to the gravitational force of attraction of the sun on the planet?
Anon25 [30]
Torque, moment, or moment of force is the tendency of a force to rotate an object around an axis,fulcrum, or pivot. Just as a force is a push or a pull, a torque can be thought of as a twist to an object. Mathematically, torque is defined as the cross product of the vector by which the force's application point is offset relative to the fixed suspension point (distance vector) and the force vector, which tends to produce rotational motion. So torque about the center of the sun due to the gravitational force of attraction of the sun on the planet = (Gxm1xm2 / r^2). r sin(theta) = Gxm1xm2 /r^2). r sin0° = 0

The light from many stars can be seen from earth. but there is a time delay between the time the light is emitted from the star
mrs_skeptik [129]
Stars are located at a distance which are measured in terms of light years. Light year is an Astronomical unit used to measure distance between distant Celestial bodies. 
1 light year = 9460730472580<span>800 metres 
But no star is located at a distance of 1 light year. Some stars are located at millions of light years and light travels ~ 3 x 10</span>⁸ m/s. Thus light takes time to reach our atmosphere.
