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.

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

C. At the instant the ball reaches its highest point.

Explanation:

When a body is thrown up, it tends to come down due to the influence of gravitational force acting on the body. The body will be momentarily at rest at its maximum point before falling. At this maximum point, the velocity of the body is zero and since force acting on a body is product of the mass and its acceleration, the force acting on the body at that point will be "zero"

Remember, F = ma = m(v/t)

Since v = 0 at maximum height

F = m(0/t)

F = 0N

This shows that the force acting on the body is zero at the maximum height.

Describe what happens to chromosomes before mitosis.
Brums [2.3K]

Explanation:

Before mitosis, the chromosomes are copied. They then coil up, and each chromosome looks like a letter X in the nucleus of the cell. The chromosomes now consist of two sister chromatids. Mitosis separates these chromatids, so that each new cell has a copy of every chromosome

Which phrase best describes sir isaac newton's contributions to modern science and therefore to the industrial revolution?
astraxan [27]
Can you please give the phrases? 

But, I'll help what I can.

First, he was the first to discover gravity. He was not bonked by the head by an apple, rather he watched an apple fall from a tree before he decided to explore gravity further. 

He was also the first scientist to be knighted, which is a great honor, as you can expect. 

Newton also developed The Three Laws of Motion. They are extremely important to physics and are considered some of the foundation for physics today. 

He also discovered calculus, which is complex math that is very helpful to scientists today. 

He also discovered the color spectrum using a glass prism, a dark room and window shade with a hole in it. He was able to project the color spectrum onto a piece of paper.

Those are the few I can think of now, but hope it helps!
