The main reason why it's very dangerous to open compress gas tank is it can cause major disaster not only in human but also in plants and animals. Compress gas is flammable. And it's like a bomb the damage of gas tank is very catastrophic. It is very harmful if mishandled.

Answer:

Extreme pressure of the gas exerted on the walls of tank or cylinder is most likely the reason

Explanation:

Normally, compressed gas is filled in a container at a high pressure, because there is no other method you can fill a gas in this container. You need a greater quantity of gas filled in container and then transported to other places for various purposes. Now usually a valve is placed at the opening of tank or cylinder to control the flow of gas when using it. If you break open the container, the gas molecules will break out at a rapid velocity, since, according to Newton's third law of motion, which is,

Every action has an equal but opposite reaction

the force exerted by gas to flow out into atmosphere will equally act on container as well but in opposite direction. It can cause container to move haphazardly in very fast speed and container can collide with you or any other person standing nearby.

Secondly, it depend upon the nature of gas that it is might be poisonous or inflammable  and when breaks out in environment, it can cause damage to the people who inhale it or it might cause fire in the surroundings. That is why, it is dangerous to break open a container of compressed gas.

a 64kg skateboarder on a 2.0kg skateboard is on top of a ramp with a vertical height of 5.0 m what is the skateboarders maximum
WITCHER [35]
The formula for a kinetic energy KE of a falling body is
KE = mgh
where m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2, constant), h = height.

The total mass of a skateboader and a skateboard is 64 + 2.0 = 66 kg.

Finally,
KE = 66*9.8*5.0 = 32340 J

Which transition represents a time when water molecules are moving closer together?
slava [35]
A. Is very attractive. If it's sublimation directly from water vapor in the air to ice on the glass, then yes. But from liquid water mist to water ice, no. Ice is less dense than water. That's why cubes float in your soda. Better leave 'A' alone. . . . D. Ice pellets turn to liquid. That one's good.

Which force acts as an object to move it from rest or a constant straight line motion
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

The force is Inertia

Explanation:

The force that acts on an object to move it from rest or a constant straight line motion is known as Inertia.

In physics the above statement is governed by Newton's first law of motion which is also known as Law of Inertia.

This law states that, an object that is at rest will remain at rest and an object that is moving will continue to move in a straight line with constant speed, if and only if the net force acting on the object is zero.

This implies that, A stationary object will remain motionless if no force acts on it while a object with constant velocity will continue moving with constant velocity until a force acts on it (neglecting resistance from air and friction).
