<h2>The pressure will become double </h2>

Explanation:

The gas pressure is directly proportional to the mean root square velocity of the constituent molecules of gas .

P ∝ \sqrt{\frac{C_1^2+C_2^2+C_3^2----C_n^2}{n} }      I

Here C₁ , C₂ ------------ Cₙ is the velocities of molecules .

By making these velocities double

The pressure P₀ ∝ 2\sqrt{\frac{C_1^2+C_2^2+C_3^2----C_n^2}{n} }          II

By dividing II by I

P₀ = 2 P

Thus pressure will become double than its previous value

While seeds are forming, another plant part forms around them. Animals eat this part and carry the seeds to a new spot.
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is D) fruit</em>

Explanation:

Both the gymnosperm and the angiosperms plants produce seed. Seeds are an essential part of reproduction in plants.

After fertilization has occurred, the ripened ovule is the part which turns into a seed. The size of the seeds depends on the type if plant.

After fertilization, the ovary forms the fruit. As the ovule is present in the ovule hence after fertilization, the seed which was made from the ovule gets enclosed in the fruit which was made from the ovary.

An object of mass 4kg is moving along a horizontal plane. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.2 find the friction force
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

The friction force acting on the object is 7.84 N

Explanation:

Given;

mass of object, m = 4 kg

coefficient of kinetic friction, μk = 0.2

The friction force acting on the object is calculated as;

F = μkN

F = μkmg

where;

F is the frictional force

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

F = 0.2 x 4 x 9.8

F = 7.84 N

Therefore, the friction force acting on the object is 7.84 N

Compare the time period of two simple pendulums of length 4m and 16m at a place.
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

the period of the 16 m pendulum is twice the period of the 4 m pendulum

Explanation:

Recall that the period (T) of a pendulum of length (L)  is defined as:

T=2\,\pi\,\sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }

where "g" is the local acceleration of gravity.

SInce both pendulums are at the same place, "g" is the same for both, and when we compare the two periods, we get:

T_1=2\,\pi\,\sqrt{\frac{4}{g} } \\T_2=2\,\pi\,\sqrt{\frac{16}{g} } \\ \\\frac{T_2}{T_1} =\sqrt{\frac{16}{4} } =2

therefore the period of the 16 m pendulum is twice the period of the 4 m pendulum.

Is the acceleration due to gravity in projectile motion always negative? please explain
umka21 [38]
Before you start working on any motion problem, YOU decide which direction you're going to call 'positive'. Everybody almost always calls UP positive, and the acceleration of gravity points down, so it winds up negative. But you could just as well call DOWN the positive direction. Then, the cannonball is fired with a negative vertical speed, and the acceleration of gravity eventually robs all of its negative speed, and makes it start falling in the positive direction. The whole thing is your choice.

A motorcycle accelerated from 10 metre per second to 30 metre per second in 6 seconds. How far did it travel in this time ?
Ber [7]
U=10 m/s
v=30 m/s
t=6 sec

therefore, a=(v-u)/t
                   =(30-10)/6
                   =(10/3) ms^-2

now, displacement=ut+0.5*a*t^2
                              =60+ 0.5*(10/3)*36
                              =120 m
And you can solve it in another way:

v^2=u^2+2as
or, s=(v^2-u^2)/2a
       =(900-100)/6.6666666.......
       =120 m
