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

1 answer:

8 0

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.

If the child pulls with a force of 20 N for 12.0 m , and the handle of the wagon is inclined at an angle of 25 ∘ above the horiz

lilavasa [31]

Answer: 217.52 N

Explanation: The applied force is 20 N, the distance covered is 12.0 m and the angle is 25° above the horizontal.

Hence the formulae that defines work done is given by

W = Force × distance

But since the force has been inclined at an angle θ above the horizontal, the horizontal component of force is neccesary to produce the required motion to make the child do work on the wagon.

Hence

Work done = (horizontal component of force) × distance

Work done = F cos θ × distance

Work done = 20 cos 25 × 12 = 217.52 N

Which changes will decrease the electric force between two positively charged objects? Check all that apply.

zaharov [31]

Answer:

Moving them farther apart

Explanation:

The electric field between the two charges Q and q separated by a distance r is given by

$E = \frac{K\times Q\times q}{r^{2}}$

It shows that the electric field is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two charges.

So, as the distance between two charges increases, the electric filed between the two charges decreases.

The amount of work done by two boys who apply 200 N of force in an

Aleksandr [31]

The amount of work done by two boys who apply 200 N of force in an unsuccessful attempt to move a stalled car is 0.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation: </u>

Work done is the measure of work done by someone to push an object from its present position. We can also define work done as the amount of forces needed to move an object from its present position to another position. So the amount of work done is directly proportionate to the product of forces acting on the object and the displacement of the object.

$\text { Work done }=\text { Force } \times \text { displacement }$

So in this present case, as the two boys have done an unsuccessful attempts to push a stalled car so that means the displacement of the car is zero as there is no change in the position of the car. But they have applied a force of 200 N each. So the amount of work done will be

$\text { Work done }=200 \mathrm{N} \times 0=0$

Thus, the amount of work done by two boys will be zero due to their unsuccessful attempt to move a stalled car.

1<br> A truck increases its speed from 15 m/s to 60 m/s in 15 s. Its acceleration is

MAVERICK [17]

Acceleration = (Vf - Vi)/t
Since Vf= 60m/s
Vi= 15m/s
T= 15s
=> a= (60m/s - 15m/s)/15s
= 3
So the acceleration is 3m/s^2
