Answer:Decreases

Explanation:

Given

Volume is held constant that is it is a isochoric process.

We know that

PV=nRT

as n,V& R are constant therefore only variables are

P & T

so $\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$

$\frac{P_1}{P_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}$

As $T_1$ is decreasing therefore Pressure must also decrease so that ratio remains constant.

Two forces F1 and F2 of equal magnitude are applied to a brick of mass 20kg lying on the floor as shown in the figure above. If

jeka57 [31]

Let $F_{1}=F_{2}=F$ .

Normal force equals (using Newton's third law) $N=mg+F\sin30^{o}-F\sin37^{o}$ .

$F_{f}\leq \mu N = \mu(mg+F\sin30^{o}-F\sin37^{o})$ , but $F_{f}\leq F(\cos30^o+\cos37^o)$ for all $F_{f}$ (in order to start moving the break). Therefore $F(\cos 30^o+\cos37^o)\geq \mu(mg+F\sin30^{o}-F\sin37^{o})$ , solving for $F$ : $F\geq \frac{\mu mg}{\cos30^o+\cos37^o-\mu\sin30^o+\mu\sin37^o}\approx 46,91\; \textbf{N}$

two forces A and B act on an object in opposite directions. A is bigger than B. What is the net force acting on an object?

Akimi4 [234]

Imagine a block with A pulling one way and B the other.

If A is bigger than B then obviously it will go in the direction of A.

The net force will be A-B as A is pulling it along with x but b is also pulling back with y.

Photons are generated by a microwave oven in a kitchen and by an x ray machine at a dentist’s office. which type of photon has t

Ad libitum [116K]

The different types of radiation are defined by the the amount of energy found in the photons. X-Ray photons will have greater frequency than microwaves but microwaves will have greater wavelength.

There are seven regions in the electromagnetic spectrum which in order of lowest to highest frequency are: Radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays. Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency, therefore radio waves have the longest wavelength and gamma rays have the shortest. that is why X-Ray machine photons have greater frequency and shorter wavelength while microwave photons have lower frequency but higher wavelength.
