TRUE OR FALSE : Boyle’s law states that, as the pressure of a gas increases, the volume decreases.

At first glance, this statement seems to be true.  But after about a
microsecond of further consideration, one realizes that the statement
would actually set Boyle spinning in his grave, and is false.

Boyle's law states that there is a firm relationship among the pressure,
temperature, and volume of an ideal gas, and that you can't say anything
about how any two of these quantities depend on each other, unless you
also say what's happening to the third one at the same time.

As the pressure of an ideal gas increases, the volume will decrease in
direct proportion to the volume, IF THE TEMPERATURE OF THE GAS
REMAINS CONSTANT.

If you wanted to, you could increase the pressure AND the volume of an
ideal gas both at the same time.  You would just need to warm it enough
while you squeeze it.

Jason applies a force of 4.00 newtons to a sled at an angle 62.0 degrees from the ground. What is the component of force effecti
Andreas93 [3]
Answer: 1.88 N

Explanation:

Data:

Force = 4.00N
angle = 62°
horizontal force = ?

Solution:

The trigonometric ratio that relates horizontal - leg to hypotenuse is the cosine.

That ratio is:

                        horizontal - leg
cos(angle) = -------------------------
                          hypotenuse

So, applied to the force, that is:

                             horizontal force
cos (angle) = -----------------------------------
                                 total force

So, clearing the horizontal component you get:
                                         
horizontal force = force * cos (angle)

Substitute the data given:

horizontal force = 4.00N * cos(62°) = 4.00N * 0.4695 = 1.88 N

Answer: 1.88N
