Answer:

Kinetic theory explains why the volume of a container must expand when the temperature of the gas inside increases in order for the pressure to remain constant.

Step-by-step explanation:

Charles' law: for a fixed mass of gas at constant pressure the volume is directly proportional to the temperature.

Analysis of a gas when its temperature increases according to kinetic theory:

The temperature has increased therefore the molecules have more kinetic energy, so they move with a greater velocity.¹

If the container's dimensions do not change the molecules will travel across the container between the walls in less time (because they are moving faster and covering the same distance between the container walls). This will increase the rate of collisions, which would increase the pressure.²

But if the dimensions of the container increased then the molecules would cover a larger distance faster thereby maintaining a constant rate of collisions. This would maintain a constant pressure.

Charles law: a law stating that the volume of an ideal gas at constant pressure is directly proportional to the absolute temperature.

According to kinetic energy, increase in temperature will increase kinetic energy

Based on the dimensions of the cup/container, the increase in kinetic energy will cause more collisions, causing increase in pressure as well. This increase in pressure will cause the container to expand in compensation.

This proves charles law because the temperature increase caused the pressure to change as well.

Answer:

We have function,

$y = 3 - 6 \sin {}^{} (2x + \frac{\pi}{2} )$

Standard Form of Sinusoid is

$y = - 6 \sin(2x + \frac{\pi}{2} ) + 3$

Which corresponds to

$y = a \sin(b(x + c)) + d$

where a is the amplitude

2pi/b is the period

c is phase shift

d is vertical shift or midline.

In the equation equation, we must factor out 2 so we get

$y = - 6(2(x + \frac{\pi}{4} )) + 3$

Also remeber a and b is always positive

So now let answer the questions.

a. The period is

$\frac{2\pi}{ |b| }$

$\frac{2\pi}{ |2| } = \pi$

So the period is pi radians.

b. Amplitude is

$| - 6| = 6$

Amplitude is 6.

c. Domain of a sinusoid is all reals. Here that stays the same. Range of a sinusoid is [-a+c, a-c]. Put the least number first, and the greatest next.

So using that rule, our range is [6+3, -6+3]= [9,-3] So our range is [-3,9].

D. Plug in 0 for x.

$3 - 6 \sin((2(0) + \frac{\pi}{2} )$
