In the Boyle’s law experiment, what was used to increase the pressure on the air (gas)?
1 answer:
Answer:
Volume.
Explanation:
Boyle’s law experiment :
This is also known as Mariotte's law or in the other words it is also known as Boyle–Mariotte law.
This law tell us about the variation of gas pressure when the volume of the gas changes at the constant temperature.According to this law the abslute pressure is inversely proportional to the volume .
We can say that
Where P=Pressure
V=Volume
PV = K
K=Constant
When volume decrease then the pressure of the gas will increase.
That is why the answer is "Volume".

Answer:
1.84 m from the initial point (3.16 m from the ceiling)
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of energy, the initial kinetic energy of the ball will be converted into gravitational potential energy at the point of maximum height.
Therefore, we can write:
where
m = 2 kg is the mass of the ball
v = 6 m/s is the initial speed of the ball
g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity
is the change in height of the ball
Solving for ,
So, the ball raises 1.84 compared to its initial height.
Therefore:
- if we take the initial position of the ball as reference point, its maximum height is at 1.84 m
- if we take the ceiling as reference point, the maximum height of the ball will be
5 m - 1.84 m = 3.16 m from the ceiling
