Dalton's atomic theory was the first complete attempt to describe allmatter in terms of atoms and their properties. Dalton based his theory on the law of conservation of mass and the law of constant composition. The first part of his theory states that allmatter is made of atoms, which are indivisible.
We need to resolve each displacement along two perpendicular directions: the east-west direction (let's label it with x) and the north-south direction (y). Resolving each vector:
Vector B is 48 km south, so:
Finally, vector C:
Now we add the components along each direction:
So, the resultant (which is the distance in a straight line between the starting point and the final point of the motion) is
D. both B and C will cause gas pressure to decrease because adding more gas is like adding more energy and reducing the space (volume) the atoms will move more quickly but won't have space, therefore pressure will increase.
