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

A 16 foot ladder is leaning against a wall. If the top of the ladder slides down the wall at a rate of 3 feet per second, how fa
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

11.625

Explanation:

L = length of the ladder = 16 ft

v_{y} = rate at which top of ladder slides down = - 3 ft/s

v_{x} = rate at which bottom of ladder slides

y = distance of the top of ladder from the ground

x = distance of bottom of ladder from wall = 4 ft

Using Pythagorean theorem

L² = x² + y²

16² = 4² + y²

y = 15.5 ft

Also using Pythagorean theorem

L² = x² + y²

Taking derivative both side relative to "t"

0 = 2x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t} + 2y\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}

0 = x v_{x} + y v_{y}

0 = 4 v_{x} + (15.5) (- 3)

v_{x} = 11.625 ft/s

13) The condenser pressure is 417.4 psig for r-410A and the condenser outlet temperature is 108f. how much subcooling is there i
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

12°F

Explanation:

Calculation for how much subcooling is there in the condenser

Since the CONDENSING TEMPERATURE for 417.4 psig discharge pressure is 120 degrees (120°) which means that the amount of subcooling that is there in the condenser will be calculated using this formula

Amount of Condenser subcooling= Condensing Temperature discharge pressure -Condenser outlet temperature

Let plug in the formula

Amount of Condenser subcooling=120°-108f

Amount of Condenser subcooling=12°F

Therefore the amount of subcooling that is there in the condenser will be 12°F

Explain the difference between displacement and distance
alisha [4.7K]
<span>Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion. Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.</span>

What quantities are related by Ohm's law? Check all that apply. voltage conductivity current resistance insulation
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer: Current, resistance and voltage are the quantities which are related by Ohm's law.

Explanation:

A law which states that electric current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance is called Ohm's law.

Mathematically, it is represented as follows.

I = \frac{V}{R}

where,

I = current

V = voltage

R = resistance

This means that the quantities related by Ohm's law include current, voltage and resistance.

Thus, we can conclude that current, resistance and voltage are the quantities which are related by Ohm's law.
