Explain why you hear a “whoosh” sound when you open a can containing a carbonated drink. Which gas law applies?

Carbonated drinks have the air under pressure so that carbon bubbles are forced into the drink, keeping it carbonated. So when you open a can, the air under pressure in the can comes out of the can at a high speed, making a "whooshing" sound. The gas law that applies to this concept is the Boyle's Law (PV=k or P1V1=P2V2).

Answer:

sorry the other one is a very bad answer i just took the test so this should. good luck

Explanation:

The carbon dioxide in the head space above the liquid is at higher pressure than atmospheric pressure outside the can.

The gas is at a lower volume initially but suddenly has a larger volume available when the can is opened.

The change in pressure as the gas rapidly moves to become dispersed through its new volume causes the “whoosh” sound.

The gas law that applies is Boyle’s law.

W=m₁/m₀=2^(-t/T)

t=4.6·10⁹ years
T=5·10¹⁰ years

w=2^(-4.6·10⁹/5·10¹⁰)

w=0.9382
w=93.82%

The three concerns that the residents of this area might be:

1) <span>The cost of not moving forward is extremely high, so they opposed the plan, as they think it would affect US economy

2) </span><span>Nuclear waste disposal capability is an environmental imperative, so their environment would be polluted by very radioactive materials.

But unfortunately, <span>Extensive studies consistently show Yucca Mountain to be a sound site for nuclear waste disposal so the plan can't be abolished.

Why is the air in a jet aircraft flying at high altitudes pressurized? *
saw5 [17]

Answer:

Aircraft cabins are therefore pressurized to maintained a similar pressure as that experienced at sea level to ensure normal breathing of passengers.

Explanation:

-Air becomes increasingly thinner with increasing altitudes.

-As such, oxygen becomes limited at higher altitudes and makes it difficult or almost impossible to breath  a condition called hypoxia.

-Aircraft cabins are therefore pressurized to maintained a similar pressure as that experienced at sea level to ensure normal breathing of passengers.

Two rigid transformations are used to map TriangleJKL to TriangleMNQ. The first is a translation of vertex L to vertex Q. What i
Elodia [21]

Answer:

The second transformation is a rotation around (point) L.

Explanation:

Generally, a rigid transformation is used to change only the position of a figure while the shape remains the same. In order to map a triangle (ΔJKL) to another triangle (ΔMNQ), two rigid transformations were employed. In the first transformation, the vertex L was mapped to the vertex Q. Therefore, the second transformation will definitely involve the rotation around (point) L. This will complete the two rigid transformations.
