One of the main interests in science relating to space, is finding other planets that are similar to Earth (similar atmosphere and can sustain water and in turn the potential of life)

So if we are able to determine composition of the planet, we might be able to see if it can or does have water on it - which could mean life can survive on the planet. Which opens up options of populating another planet, or discovering a new life-form/ living organism.

Boyles law<br> squeezing a balloon is one way to burst it. Why? ...?

KiRa [710]

According to Boyle's Law, volume is inversely proportional to pressure. It means if the volume of a gas goes up the pressure goes down and if the volume of the gas goes up the pressure goes down. When the pressure of air inside the inflated balloon is more than the atmospheric pressure outside the balloon. And also when the density inside is greater than the density outside. The molecules inside the balloon move and bang around the inner walls which produces force, which provides the pressure of an enclosed air.

What is the change in internal energy if 60 J of heat is released from a system and 30 J of work is done on the system? Use U =

k0ka [10]

The change in internal energy of the system is +30 J

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the first law of thermodynamics, which states that the change in internal energy of a system is given by the equation:

$\Delta U = Q -W$
