Option (a) is correct as the Charles law states that for a fixed quantity of gas at constant pressure,  the quantity \fbox{\begin\\V/T\end{minispace}} will be constant.

Further explanation:

The ideal gas is a hypothetical gas whose atoms or molecules occupy very negligible space and  obeys the gas law. It is assumed that the ideal gas has no interaction with other molecules of gas.

Given:

The pressure of the gas is constant, p={\text{constant}}.

The mass of the gas is constant, m={\text{constant}}.

Concept:

The ideal gas equation is given by the expression given below:

pV=nRT                                             …… (1)

Here, p is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant  and T is the absolute temperature.

The ideal gas equation is based on the following assumption:

1. There are no attractive or repulsive forces between the particles.

2. The average kinetic energy of the gas particles is proportional to temperature.

3. Pressure is caused due to collision between the gas molecules and the walls of the container.

The Charles law states that if the pressure of a gas is held constant, the volume of gas is directly  proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

The expression for the Charles law is:

\fbox{\begin\\V\propto T\end{minispace}}                                                                                   ...... (2)

Rearrange the equation (1).

\dfrac{V}{T} = \dfrac{{nR}}{p}

The number of moles of the gas, n, and the universal gas constant, R, is constant for a gas. Therefore, the left hand side of the above equation i.e., nR/p will also be a constant.

Therefore, we can write:

\fbox{\begin\\\text{V/T }={\text{constant}}\end{minispace}}

Thus, option (a) is correct as the Charles law states that for a fixed quantity of gas at constant  pressure, the quantity \fbox{\begin\\V/T\end{minispace}} will be constant.

Option (b) is incorrect as the quantity \dfrac{{nR}}{p} is constant which is equal to \dfrac{V}{T}.

Option (c) is incorrect as V and T both varies linearly if pressure is held constant so the quantity V + T  is not constant.

Charles's <span>law is also known as the law of volumes explained the relation between the volume of gas and its temperature.

Charles's law states that: " At constant pressure, the volume of a certain mass of gas is directly proportional to its temperature in kelvin".
This means that:
V = T*constant
V/T = constant

Based on this, the correct choice is:
</span><span>a) V/T</span>

the nucleus and the subatomic particles in the nucleus, what is the charge of the nucleus of an atom?
pychu [463]
The Nucleus contains Protons and Neutrons.

The Neutrons does not have a charge.

The Protons are positively charge.

Hence the charge on the Nucleus, would be the charge of the proton, which is positive.

Hence Nucleus is Positively Charged.

taurus [48]

Answer:

Newton's Third Law of Motion

Explanation:

Newton's Third Law of Motion which states that, for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction.

This ultimately implies that, in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects.

In this scenario, a ball bounced by a basketball player on the floor bounces back up at her.

According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, the statement above simply means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects i.e the ball and floor. The size of the force on the ball equals the size of the force on the floor. These two forces are called action and reaction forces and are the subject of Newton's third law of motion.

Hence, the ball bounced by the basketball player on the floor would bounce back in equal magnitude.
