Answer:

When the volume increases or when the temperature decreases

Explanation:

The ideal gas equation states that:

$pV= nRT$

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles of gas

R is the gas constant

T is the gas temperature

Assuming that we have a fixed amount of gas, so n is constant, we can rewrite the equation as

$\frac{pV}{T}=const.$

which means the following:

- Pressure is inversely proportional to the volume: this means that the pressure decreases when the volume increases

- Pressure is directly proportional to the temperature: this means that the pressure decreases when the temperature decreases

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer;

D. where two plates collide

Explanation;

-Subduction zones are plate tectonic boundaries where two plates converge, and one plate is thrust beneath the other. This process results in geohazards, such as earthquakes and volcanoes.

-Subduction zone volcanism occurs where two plates are converging on one another. One plate containing oceanic lithosphere descends beneath the adjacent plate, thus consuming the oceanic lithosphere into the earth's mantle. This on-going process is called subduction.

A car is moving in uniform circular motion. If the cars speed were to double to keep the car moving with the same radius the acc

Stells [14]

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration would increase by a factor of 4

Correct choice: B.

Explanation:

Circular Motion

The circular motion is described when an object rotates about a fixed point called center. The distance from the object to the center is the radius. There are other magnitudes in the circular motion like the angular speed, tangent speed, and centripetal acceleration. The formulas are:

$v_t=w\ r$

$\displaystyle a_c=\frac{v_t^2}{r}$

If the speed is doubled and the radius is the same, then

$\displaystyle a_c=\frac{(2v_t)^2}{r}$

$\displaystyle a_c=4\frac{v_t^2}{r}$

The centripetal acceleration would increase by a factor of 4

Correct choice: B.

A sprinter set a high school record in track and field, running 200.0 m in 20.6 s . what is the average speed of the sprinter in

Paraphin [41]

Answer : The average speed of the sprinter is, 34.95 Km/hr

Solution :

Average velocity : It is defined as the distance traveled by the time taken.

Formula used for average velocity :

$v_{av}=\frac{d}{t}$

where,

$v_{av}$ = average velocity

d = distance traveled = 200 m

t = time taken = 20.6 s

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the average velocity of the sprinter.

$v_{av}=\frac{200m}{20.6s}\times \frac{3600}{1000}=34.95Km/hr$

conversion :

(1 Km = 1000m)

(1 hr = 3600 s)

Therefore, the average speed of the sprinter is, 34.95 Km/hr
