The correct answer is C.

We will use Boyle's law that states that for a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, pressure and volume are inversely proportional. 

P1 V1 = P2 V2

Where

 P1 is initial pressure = 5 psi

V1 is initial volume = 20 cubic inch

P2 is final pressure = 10 psi

V2 is final volume = unknown

V2 = P1,V1 / P2

V2 = 20 × 5 / 10

V2 = 100/10

V2 = 10 cubic inches

Rupert (66 kg) is now in a full-pipe of radius 25 m, calculate the minimum speed at which Rupert can skate to ensure he will not
V125BC [204]

at the top most point if Rupert will not fall then normal force at the top point is almost zero for minimum speed

so here we can say

F_n + mg = m\frac{v^2}{R}

now if

F_n = 0

mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}

v = \sqrt{Rg}

v = \sqrt{25 \times 9.8}

v = 15.65 m/s

so above will be the minimum speed

Spinning situations???
Papessa [141]
Just like mass, energy, linear momentum, and electric charge, angular momentum is also conserved.

The wheel has angular momentum.  I don't remember whether it's
up or down (right-hand or left-hand rule), but it's consistent with
counterclockwise rotation as viewed from above.

When you grab the wheel and stop it from spinning (relative to you),
that angular momentum has to go somewhere.

As I see it, the angular momentum transfers through you as a temporary
axis of rotation, and eventually to the merry-go-round. Finally, all the mass
of (merry-go-round) + (you) + (wheel) is rotating around the big common
axis, counterclockwise as viewed from above, and with the magnitude
that was originally all concentrated in the wheel.

Which formula represents Charles’s law? P1V1 = P2V2 V1T1 = V2T2
Lynna [10]

Charles's law is best represent by the formula, V1T2= V2T1.

Charles's law state that for an ideal gas, at constant pressure, the absolute volume of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature.

that is

V α T

Or

V1T2= V2T1.
