Answer: B) The volume will decrease.

Explanation: Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

$P\propto \frac{1}{V}$ (At constant temperature and number of moles)

${P_1V_1}={P_2V_2}$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of gas = x

$P_2$ = final pressure of gas = say if doubles = 2x

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas = v

$V_2$ = final volume of gas = $V_2$

${x\times v}={2x\times V_2}$

$V_2=\frac{v}{2}$

Thus volume will decrease.

Boyle's law states that in an ideal gas system, pressure and volume have an inverse relationship when the temperature remains constant. So B.

If you want to double the kinetic energy of a gas molecule, by what factor must you increase its momentum?A) 16B) 2^(1/2)

worty [1.4K]

Answer: $\sqrt{2}$

The linear momentum $p$ is given by the following equation:

$p=m.v$ (1)

Where $m$ is the mass and $v$ the velocity.

On the other hand, the kinetic energy $K$ is given by:

$K=\frac{p^{2}}{2m}$ (2)

Which is the same as:

$K=\frac{1}{2}m.v^{2}$

Now, if we double the kinetic energy, equation (2) changes to:

$2K=2\frac{p^{2}}{2m}$

$2K=\frac{p^{2}}{m}$ (3)

So, if we want to obtain the kinetic energy as shown in (3), the only option that works is increasing momentum by a factor of $\sqrt{2}$ or $2^{1/2}$ :

Applying this in (2):

$K=\frac{(\sqrt{2}p)^{2}}{2m}$

$K=\frac{(2p)^{2}}{2m}$

$K=\frac{p^{2}}{m}$ >>>As we can see, this equation is the same as equation (3)

Therefore, the correct answer is B

A light ray bounces off a fish in your aquarium. It travels

frutty [35]

Answer:

Correct

Explanation:

Because the light can't travel as quickly in the water as it does in the air, the light bends around the pencil, causing it to look bent in the water. Basically, the light refraction gives the pencil a slight magnifying effect, which makes the angle appear bigger than it actually is, causing the pencil to look crooked.

What causes convection in the Earth's mantle layer?

Serggg [28]

The mantle is heated in the core, where it is hotter it is more buoyant, whereas in areas where it is cooler it is less buoyant. This results inconvection cells in the mantle, and produces horizontal motion of mantle material close to the Earth surface.
