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

Physics

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.

Metal conducts heat quicker than wood or air so when you touch it heat is taking away from you body faster than when you touch the wood desk. When heat is taken from our bodies our brain interprets this as cold.

A pendulum with a length of 2 m has a period of 2.8 s. What is the period of a pendulum with a length of 8 m
Ugo [173]

Answer:

P = 2 pi (L / g)^1/2

P2 / P1 = (8 / 2)^1/2 = 2

The period would be twice as long or 5.6 sec.

What is the weight in pounds of a 7.0 kilogram bowling ball on earth's surface
hodyreva [135]

Gravitational field strength (GFS) on earth =10 N/kg

Weight = GFS x mass
W = 10 x 7
W = 70N
70N = 15.74 pounds

Which of these is outside of the solar system? <br><br> A.Sun <br> B.Galaxy<br> C.Saturn <br> D.Moon
Angelina_Jolie [31]
It would be the Galaxy because the solar system is just plants are stuff. But, the galaxy expands way farther out than the solar system. The galaxy is quite an interesting thing. (You should know that the galaxy is outside the solar system 0_0 )

Can you complete and EXPLAIN please?????:(
jonny [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

Well you have the voltages right, and that is no trivial matter. Each one of the resistors in a parallel circuit sees the same input voltages (in this case 6).

Now I think it would be a good idea to fill in the the resistance column.

R1 = 3 ohms

R2 = 6 ohms

R3 = 2 ohms

The total resistance can be calculated in two ways. I'll get around to doing both of them but I'll do the conventional way first. One hint: the total resistance must be smaller than the smallest resistor. Read that sentence over a couple of times. What it means is that it must be less than 2 ohms in a parallel circuit.

1/r1 + 1/r2 + 1/r3 = 1/rt

1/3 + 1/6 + 1/2 = 1/rt

Change all the denominators to 6ths.

2/6 + 1/6 + 3/6 = 1/rt

(2 + 1 + 3)/6 = 6/6  = 1

rt = 1

====================

So the current I is V/R

V = 6

R = 1

Current = V/R = 6/1 = 6 amps.

====================

The current in each resistor is

I1 = V / R1

I1 = 6/3 = 2 amps

I2 = V/R2

I2 = 6/6 = 1 amp

I3 = 6/2 = 3 amps

The total is I1 + I2 + I3 = 2 + 1 + 3 = 6 amps.

======================

Remember I said there was 2 ways of figuring out the total resistance. I did one of them about. Here's the other.

R = V / It

R = 6 / 6

R = 1 ohm just what you got before.

====================

Power

P = V * I

P1 = 6 * 2 = 12 watts

P2 = 6*1   = 6 watts

P3 = 6*3 = 18 watts

Pt =            36 watts.

Pt can be done by using the voltage * the total current

Pt = 6 volts * 6 amps = 36 watts, just what you would expect.
