Because the temperature remains constant, we can apply Boyle's Law which states that 
pV = constant
where
p = pressure
V = volume

Define the two states of the gas.

State 1
Pressure = p₁
Volume = 1000 ml

State 2
Pressure = p₂
Volume = 500 ml

Apply Boyle's law.
1000p₁ = 500p₂
2 = p₂/p₁

By halving the volume, the pressure doubles.

Answer:
The pressure increases by a factor of 2.

A _______ is a repeating disturbance or vibration that transfers or moves energy from place to place without transporting mass.
Harman [31]

Answer: wave

Explanation:

These are the basic definitions and characteristic of the terms given, which show tha the only rigth answer is the second option: wave.

1) Force is an interaction. There are four natural forces: electrostatic, gravity, strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force.

2) Wave: is a sequence of pulses or vibrations that cause the continuous transportation of energy (propagation). There is not transport of mass, only energy.

Some examples of waves are sound waves, electromagnetic waves (light, radio waves, micro waves, infrarred waves, ultraviolet waves).

3) Vacuum: is the absence of matter; empty space. Only electromagnetic waves can travel through vacuum; other waves need a medium to travel.

4) Medium: any matter is a medium: a solid, the air, a liquid, all of them are media through which waves can transport its energy, depending of the wavelength.

Before giving an injection, a nurse dabs some alcohol onto the patient`s arm. This makes the patient`s skin feels cold. Explain
mezya [45]

Answer:

Before giving an injection, a nurse dabs some alcohol onto the patient`s arm. This makes the patient`s skin feels cold. Explain Why ?

<em> Evaporative cooling makes this to be possible</em>

Explanation:

The concept

For a liquid to evaporate, there must be a breakdown of the bond between the molecules of the liquid. These bonds are broken when the molecules gain heat energy. So basically evaporation occurs when the molecules of the substance gain energy in form of heat.

Our Scenario

Just like the way our body excretes sweat on a sunny day, alcohol takes energy from the skin to evaporate. The bond holding the molecules of alcohol breaks faster due to its low boiling point and this account why it evaporates faster. The sudden evaporation of alcohol when dabbed on the skin results in quick utilization of heat energy making the skin feel cold for some time.

The utilization of heat energy from the skin results in evaporation cooling which makes the skin feel colder.

You want to lift a heavy box with a mass L = 56.0 kg using the two-ideal pulley system as shown. With what minimum force do you
Olin [163]

The minimum force required to lift the box at constant velocity is determined as 274.4 N.

<h3>Minimum force required</h3>

The minimum force required to lift the box at constant velocity is the tension in one of the pulleys, and the magnitude is calculated as follows;

2T = mg

where;

  • m is mass of the box
  • T is the minimum force required

2T = mg

T = mg/2

T = (56 x 9.8)/2

T = 274.4 N
