Answer: (Here goes another answer) Gas pressure will be caused by the impact of the gas particles as they come into collison and strive a force on the container walls and once the degrees of the gas enlarge, the particles will then create kinetic energy and speed increases.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

The molecules are continually colliding with each other and with the walls of the container. When a molecule collides with the wall, they exert small force on the wall The pressure exerted by the gas is due to the sum of all these collision forces. The more particles that hit the walls, the higher the pressure.

7. A force of 100 N acting on a body gives it a speed of 200 m/s in 2

Answer:

Choice a. 1 kg, assuming that all other forces on the object (if any) are balanced.

Explanation:

By Newton's Second Law,

$\displaystyle a = \frac{\Sigma F}{m}$ ,

where

$a$ is the acceleration of the object in $\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-2}$ ,
$\Sigma F$ is the net force on the object in Newtons, and
$m$ is the mass of the object in kilograms.

As a result,

$\displaystyle m = \frac{\Sigma F}{a}$ .

Assume that all other forces on this object are balanced. The net force on the object will be $100\;\text{N}$ . The net force is constant. Acceleration should also be constant and the same as the average acceleration in the two seconds.

<h3>What is the average acceleration of this object?</h3>

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\text{Acceleration} &= \text{Average Acceleration}=\frac{\text{Change in Velocity}}{\text{Time Taken}}\end{aligned}$ .

$\displaystyle {a} = \frac{200\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-1}}{2\;\text{s}}=100\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-2}$ .

<h3>Apply Newton's Second Law to find the mass of the object.</h3>

$\displaystyle m = \frac{\Sigma F}{a} = \frac{100\;\text{N}}{100\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-2}} = 1\;\text{kg}$ .

a plane is flying due east in still air at 395 km/h. suddenly, the plane is hit by wind blowing at 55km/h toward the west. what

Sphinxa [80]

Let's be clear: The plane's "395 km/hr" is speed relative to the
air, and the wind's "55 km/hr" is speed relative to the ground.

Before the wind hits, the plane moves east at 395 km/hr relative
to both the air AND the ground.

After the wind hits, the plane still maintains the same air-speed.
That is, its velocity relative to the air is still 395 km/hr east.
But the wind vector is added to the air-speed vector, and the
plane's velocity <span>relative to the ground drops to 340 km/hr east</span>.
