It is given that that initial volume of gas is 20 cubic inches.

The initial pressure is given as 5 psi.

The final pressure is given as 10 psi

We are asked to calculate the final volume.

Let initial and final volume of gas is denoted as v_{1} \ and\ v_{2}

Let the initial and final pressure of gas is denoted as p_{1} \ and\ p_{2}

As per the question the temperature of a gas is constant.

From Boyle's law we know that pressure of a given mass of a gas is inversely proportional to the applied volume at constant temperature.

Hence mathematically

                                p\ \alpha\ \frac{1}{v}

                                pv=constant

                                p_{1} v_{1} =p_{2} v_{2}

                                v_{2} =\frac{p_{1}v_{1} }{p_{2} }

Putting the values of these respective quantities as mentioned above we get-

                                  v_{2} =\frac{5\ psi*20 cubic\ inches}{10\ psi}

                                         =10\ cubic\ inches        [ans]

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

option E

Explanation:

the correct answer is option E

the direction of magnetic field will be found out with the help of right hand rule.

Put you palm in the direction of electric field and curl your finger in the direction of magnetic field which east direction.

 now, the direction shown by the thumb will be the direction of magnetic field  which comes out to be toward South direction.

Answer:

A. nuclear fusion reactions

C. it's still hot from the big bang

Explanation:

The inside of the earth is hot due to some reasons. This heat provides the internal energy the drives processes within the earth interior. Here are some of the ways in which the heat has accumulated:

  • Nuclear reactions within the earth interior by fusion and other radioactive processes releases a large amount of heat.
  • Some heat accreted during the early formation of the earth and has not been lost till this day.
  • Heating due to friction

These are some of the sources of the earth's internal heat.

A ball rolls horizontally off a table of height 0.6 m with a speed of 9 m/s. How long does it take the ball to reach the ground?
denis23 [38]

Answer: 0.067 s

Explanation:s = Ut + 1/2at^2

0.6 = 9t + 0.5 *10 *t^2

Where a = g =10m/s/s

Solving the quadratic equation

5t^2 + 9t - 0.6=0,

t= 0.067 s and - 1.7 s

Of which 0.067 s is a valid time
