Apperant weight is occuring

Explanation:

This is because if you stand still on a scale in the elevator which is accelerating upwards you feel heavier as the elevator floor presses harder on your feet and then the scale will show a higher reading than when the elevator is at rest. The force exerted by the scale is known as apparent weight it does not change with constant speed

A weather balloon is inflated to a volume of 26.8 LL at a pressure of 744 mmHgmmHg and a temperature of 31.2 ∘C∘C. The balloon r
elena-s [515]

Answer:

43.96 L

Explanation:

We are given that

V_1=26.8 L

P_1=744mm Hg

T_1=31.2^{\circ} C=31.2+273=304.2K

P_2=385mmHg

T_2=-14.8^{\circ}=273-14.8=258.2K

We know that

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

V_2=\frac{P_1V_1T_2}{P_2T_1}

Substitute the values

V_2=\frac{744\times 26.8\times 258.2}{385\times 304.2}

V_2=43.96 L

Hence, the volume of balloon at -14.8 degree Celsius=43.96 L
