Based on the situation given, there could be a significant possibility that neither on the motorboat nor the PWC that could be considered as the stand-on vessel. It is because these water vehicles have the ability to consider using their respective "right-of-way" so as to avoid a collision.

Explanation:

A PWC is a small motorboat with greater maneuverability. Both the motor boat and the PWC is a power driven boat which can sail with more speed and horse power. A PWC is small in size as compared to the motorboat. So the boat which is smaller and with greater maneuverability must give way to the other boat to avoid collision. So the motorboat must be a stand on vessel.

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between the volume of a gas and its temperature, in Kelvin, assuming pressu

nekit [7.7K]

The relationship is directly proportional; as temperature increases, volume increases in the same way.

Charles's law states that at a constant pressure, the volume of fixed a mass of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature or kelvin temperature.

Mathematically, this law can be written as follows;

$V = kT\\\\where;\\k \ \ is \ a \ constant \\\\T \ is \ kelvin \ temperature\\\\V \ is \ the \ volume \ of \ the \ gas$

This law explains the direct relationship between Volume of the gas and its Kelvin temperature. That is, as Temperature increases, the volume of the gas increases.

Thus, the correct statement is "The relationship is directly proportional; as temperature increases, volume increases in the same way".

How does the suns energy contribute to the carbon cycle

netineya [11]

Answer:

Plants are a good starting point when looking at the carbon cycle on Earth. Plants have a process called photosynthesis that enables them to take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and combine it with water. Using the energy of the Sun, plants make sugars and oxygen molecules.
