Explain the increase in pressure of a gas when its volume is decreased at constant temperature.

Physics
1 answer:
Dmitriy789 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

For a gas held at constant temperature, we can apply Boyle's law, which states that the product between the gas pressure and its volume is constant:

PV=const.

where

P is the pressure

V is the volume

As we see from the equation, P and V are inversely proportional to each other: this means that when the volume is decreased, the pressure increases, and vice-versa. The reason for that is that when the volume is decreased, the gas is compressed, so the molecules of the gas come closer to each other, so they collide more frequently with the wall of the container, exerting therefore a greater pressure.

the magnitude of the magnetic field at point p for a certain electromagnetic wave is 2.21. What is the magnitude of the elctic f
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

6.63\times 10^8\ N/C

Explanation:

Given that,

The magnitude of magnetic field, B = 2.21

We need to find the magnitude of the electric field. Let it is E. So,

\dfrac{E}{B}=c\\\\E=Bc

Put all the values,

E=2.21\times 3\times 10^8\\\\=6.63\times 10^8\ N/C

So, the magnitude of the electric field is equal to 6.63\times 10^8\ N/C.

A diver makes 1.0 revolutions on the way from a 9.2-m-high platform to the water. Assuming zero initial vertical velocity, find
____ [38]

Answer:

Average angular velocity ≈ 4.59 rad/s

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion,

H = ut + (1/2)t² ............................ equation 1.

Where H= height, u = initial velocity(m/s), g = acceleration due to gravity(m/s²), t = time(s)  u= 0 ∴ ut =0

H =(1/2)gt².................................... equation 2.

making t² the subject of the relation in equation 2,

∴ t² = 2H/g

Where H = 9.2 m, g= 9.8 m/s

∴ t² = ( 2×9.2)/9.8

t = √(2 × 9.2/9.8) = √(18.4/9.8)

 t = 1.37 s.

The average angular velocity = θ/t

Where θ = is the number of revolution that the diver makes, t  = time

           θ = 1 rev.

Since 1 rev = 2π (rad)

           t = 1.37 s

 Average angular velocity = 2π/t

π = 3.143

 Average angular velocity = (2×3.143)/1.37 = 6.286/1.37

   Average angular velocity ≈ 4.59 rad/s

In a certain electrolysis experiment involving Al3+ ions, 60.2 g of Al is recovered when a current of 0.352 A is used. How many
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

30.5 x 10³ min.

Explanation:

Atomic weight of aluminium = 27

For the reaction

Al⁺³ + 3e  = Al

3 mole of electron is required by 1 mole of aluminium

3 x 96500 C of charge is required for 27 gram of aluminium

60.2 g aluminium will require

\frac{3\times96500}{27} \times60.2

645.47 x 10³ C

So charge required = 645.47 x 10³ C

Now Charge  = Current x time

Current ( given ) = 0.352A

Time = charge / current = 645.47 x 10³ / .352

=1833 x 10³ s

30.5 x 10³ minutes

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

To convert gram / centimeter³ to kg / m³

gram / centimeter³

= 10⁻³ kg / centimeter³

= 10⁻³  / (10⁻²)³ kg / m³

= 10⁻³ / 10⁻⁶ kg / m³

= 10⁻³⁺⁶ kg / m³

= 10³ kg / m³

So we shall have to multiply be 10³ with amount in gm / cm³ to convert it into kg/m³

2.33 gram / cm³

= 2.33 x 10³ kg / m³ .
