A) The temperature increases by a factor 6

We can use the ideal gas equation:

pV=nRT

where

p is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

R is the gas constant

T is the temperature

We can also rewrite it as

\frac{pV}{T}=nR

The gas is in a sealed container - this means the amount of gas is fixed, so n is constant. Since R is constant too, the term on the right in the equation is constant. So we can rewrite the equation as:

\frac{p_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{p_2 V_2}{T_2}

where in this problem we have:

V_2 = 2V_1 (the volume is doubled)

p_2 = 3 p_1 (the pressure is tripled)

re-arranging the equation, we find the change in temperature:

\frac{T_2}{T_1}=\frac{p_2 V_2}{p_1 V_1}=\frac{(3 p_1)(2 V_1)}{p_1 V_1}=6

so, the temperature increases by a factor 6.

B) The temperature increases by a factor 1.5.

We can use again the same equation:

\frac{p_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{p_2 V_2}{T_2}

Where in this case:

V_2 = \frac{V_1}{2} (the volume is halved)

p_2 = 3 p_1 (the pressure is tripled)

So, we can find the change in temperature:

\frac{T_2}{T_1}=\frac{p_2 V_2}{p_1 V_1}=\frac{(3 p_1)(\frac{V_1}{2})}{p_1 V_1}=\frac{3}{2}=1.5

So, the temperature increases by 1.5 times.

Summarize: Based on what you have learned, how will the sound that the observer hears
Reil [10]

Answer: The sound will change due to changes in frequency and the wavelength of the airplane.

Explanation: Let assume that the observer is at a stationary position. The wavelength of the sound from the airplane reduces and the frequency increases as the plane is moving toward the observer. As the airplane passes by, that is, moving away from the observer, the frequency starts to reduce while the wavelength of the sound starts to increase.

The sound that the observer hears will change base on the illustration above.

Would it be true that if you double the distance of an astronaut from a planet, the gravitational pull between them would be hal
velikii [3]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Newton's law of universal gravitation is usually stated that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses(m1 and m2) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers(r).

F = Gm1m2/r²

This is a general physical law derived from

empirical observations by what Isaac Newton called inductive reasoning.

when distance is doubled the gravitational force will be reduced by quarter not half.
