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.

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

a)q= 2800 W/m²

b)To=59.4°C

Explanation:

Given that

L = 10 mm

K= 20 W/m·K

T=30°C

h= 100 W/m²K

Ti=58°C

a)

Heat flux q

q= h ΔT

q= 100 x (58 - 30 )

q= 2800 W/m²

b)

As we know that heat transfer by Fourier law given as

Q= K A ΔT/L

Lets take outer temperature is To

So by  Fourier law

To= Ti + qL/K

Now by putting the values

To= Ti + qL/K

To= 58 + 2800 \times \dfrac{ 0.01}{20}

To=59.4°C

A motorcyclist travelling at 30m/s starts to apply his brake when he is 50m from the traffic light that has just turned red .if
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

9m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 30m/s

Final velocity  = 0m/s

Distance traveled  = 50m

Unknown:

Deceleration  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply the proper motion equation;

          V²   = U²   +  2aS

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

S is the distance

  Insert the parameters and solve;

          0²  = 30²  + 2(a)50

          -900  = 100a  

              a = -9m/s²

The negative value indicates deceleration.

The motorcycle decelerates at a rate of 9m/s²

Sam drives her scooter 7 kilometres north. She stops for lunch and then drives
Talja [164]

Answer:

1. Distance travelled = 12 km.

2. Displacement = 8.6 km

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Distance 1 (d₁) = 7 km

Distance 2 (d₂) = 5 km

Total distance =?

Displacement =?

1. Determination of the distance travelled.

Distance 1 (d₁) = 7 km

Distance 2 (d₂) = 5 km

Total distance (dₜ) =?

dₜ = d₁ + d₂

dₜ = 7 + 5

dₜ = 12 km

2. Determination of the displacement.

In the attached photo, R is the displacement.

We can obtain the value of R by using the pythagoras theory as illustrated below:

R² = 7² + 5²

R² = 49 + 25

R² = 74

Take the square root of both side

R = √74

R = 8.6 km
