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.

Answer:

v = √2G $M_{earth}$ / R

Explanation:

For this problem we use energy conservation, the energy initiated is potential and kinetic and the final energy is only potential (infinite r)

Eo = K + U = ½ m1 v² - G m1 m2 / r1

Ef = - G m1 m2 / r2

When the body is at a distance R> Re, for the furthest point (r2) let's call it Rinf

Eo = Ef

½ m1v² - G m1 $M_{earth}$ / R = - G m1 $M_{earth}$ / R

v² = 2G $M_{earth}$ (1 / R - 1 / Rinf)

If we do Rinf = infinity 1 / Rinf = 0

v = √2G $M_{earth}$ / R

Ef = = - G m1 m2 / R

The mechanical energy is conserved

Em = -G m1 $M_{earth}$ / R

Em = - G m1 $M_{earth}$ / R

R = int ⇒ Em = 0

You measure the velocity of a drag racer that accelerates with constant acceleration. You want to plot the data and determine th

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

a) Linear equation

Explanation:

Definition of acceleration

$a=\frac{dv}{dt}\\$

if a=constant and we integrate the last equation

$v(t)=v_{o}+a*t$

So the relation between the time and the velocity is linear. If we plot the velocity in function of time, the plot is a line, and the acceleration is the slope of this line.
