A little boy blows air into a rubber glove and ties a knot at the end of it. He realizes that he wants the puffed-up glove to be

bigger, but he's already tied a knot that he cannot untie.
According to the gas laws, what could the little boy do to increase the volume of air in the glove?

poke a hole in one of the fingers of the glove
place the glove in the sun
squeeze the fingers of the glove
place the glove in the freezer

squeeze the fingers of the glove because of imcrease pressure

Answer:

Place the glove in the sun

Explanation:

According to the ideal-gas law:

PV=nRT (1)

References:

P= Pressure

V= Volume

T=Temperature

n= Mol

R=Constant

As it is described , the amount of air inside the glove is constant, so R and n are constants and the ideal-gas formula can be re-written as follows:

V=aT/P (2)

Being "a" a constant.

We can see in (2) that the volume can be incresed directly by increasing the temperature or by lowering the pressure. So the correct answer is "place the glove in the sun" because the temperature of the air will be increased and the volume of the glove will be increased as well.

It is easy to think that by squeezing the fingers of the glove the volume is increased, but in this case the volume of the glove is decreased (because it hasn't got the volume of the fingers anymore) and the pressure is increased in consequence, making the rest of the glove swell in order to maintain the original volume.

Why cycus are called conifer? give its 3major characteristics features​
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Cycads /ˈsaɪkædz/ are seed plants that typically have a stout and woody (ligneous) trunk with a crown of large, hard, stiff, evergreen and (usually) pinnate leaves. The species are dioecious, therefore the individual plants of a species are either male or female. Cycads vary in size from having trunks only a few centimeters to several meters tall. They typically grow very slowly[3] and live very long, with some specimens known to be as much as 1,000 years old.[citation needed] Because of their superficial resemblance, they are sometimes mistaken for palms or ferns, but they are not closely related to either group.

Cycads are gymnosperms (naked seeded), meaning their unfertilized seeds are open to the air to be directly fertilized by pollination, as contrasted with angiosperms, which have enclosed seeds with more complex fertilization arrangements. Cycads have very specialized pollinators, usually a specific species of beetle. Both male and female cycads bear cones (strobili), somewhat similar to conifer cones.

Cycads have been reported to fix nitrogen in association with various cyanobacteria living in the roots (the "coralloid" roots).[4] These photosynthetic bacteria produce a neurotoxin called BMAA that is found in the seeds of cycads. This neurotoxin may enter a human food chain as the cycad seeds may be eaten directly as a source of flour by humans or by wild or feral animals such as bats, and humans may eat these animals. It is hypothesized that this is a source of some neurological diseases in humans.[5][6]

Cycads all over the world are in decline, with four species on the brink of extinction and seven species having fewer than 100 plants left in the wild.[7] The plant has a very long fossil history, with evidence that they existed in greater abundance and in greater diversity before the Jurassic and late Triassic mass extinction events.

TRUE or FALSE. | There is a gravitational attraction force between you and this computer.
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces. So as two objects are separated from each other, the force of gravitational attraction between them also decreases.
