Decreases, stays the same, increases.
The volume decreases because as air is cooled, the individual molecules collectively possess less kinetic energy and the distances between them decrease, thus leading to a decrease in the volume they occupy at a certain pressure (please note that my answer only holds under constant pressure; air, as a gas, doesn't actually have a definite volume).
The mass stays the same because physical processes do not create or destroy matter. The law of conservation of mass is obeyed. You're only cooling the air, not adding more air molecules.
The density decreases because as the volume decreases and mass stays the same, you have the same mass occupying a smaller volume. Density is mass divided by volume, so as mass is held constant and volume decreases, density increases.

F = m • a
What we know:
- Gravity: 9.8 m/s
- Force: 490 N
Equation derived:
m = F/a
m = 490/9.8
= 50 kg
Answer:
P max = 1000 pa
P min = 200 pa
Explanation:
P = F/A
pressure will be maximum when surface gets minimum. so to find the maximum amount of pressure we need to calculate the minimum surface. it is 2cm×5cm = 10cm² = 0.001m² . then we have:
P = 1 / 0.001 = 1000 pa
to find minimum pressure the surface that must be chosen is 10cm×5cm = 50cm² = 0.005m² .
P = 1 / 0.005 = 200 pa
