The gas pressure inside a container decreases when
1 answer:
Answer:
When the volume increases or when the temperature decreases
Explanation:
The ideal gas equation states that:
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
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

Well we can just use F=ma. The force is 10N, the mass is 50 kg, solve for a. Well since we kg and N, no conversion is necessary. So just plugging in the numbers, we get
10N = 50 kg · a
A newton is just
The s^2 and 50 kg you multiply
The kg's cancel and 10/50 is 1/5
So the acceleration is 1/5 m/s^2
