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

Physics

sveta [45]3 years ago

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 2 grams of element X combine with 4 grams of element Y to form compound XY, how many grams of element Y would combine with 11
kykrilka [37]
This is sort of simple.  2 grams of X can combine with 4 grams of Y to form XY.  Y is 2 times the amount of grams in X.  So if there are 11 grams of X there are 22 grams of Y to form XY.  Or you could take 11 divided by 2 is 5.5 and then multiply 4 by 5.5 to get 22.  If this is wrong please tell me I would be very happy to know.

A firefighter of mass 81 kg slides down a vertical pole with an acceleration of 3 m/s 2 . The acceleration of gravity is 10 m/s
natima [27]

Answer:

The force of friction that acts on him is

F_k=567N

Explanation:

The firefighter with an acceleration of 3m/s^2 take the gravity acceleration as 10m/s^2 isn't necessary to know the coefficient of friction just to know the force of friction:

F=m*a

F=F_w-F_k

m*a=F_w-F_k

F_w=81kg*10m/s^2=810N

Sole to Fk

81kg*3m/s^2=810N-F_k

F_k=810N-243N

F_k=567N

A 12.0-g bullet is fi red horizontally into a 100-g wooden block initially at rest on a horizontal surface. After impact, the bl
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

v_1 = 91.3 m/s

Explanation:

By energy conservation and work energy theorem we can say that after bullet hits the block, it will move on the rough floor and comes to rest

so here work done by frictional force = change in kinetic energy

so we know that

W_f = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2

-\mu mg d = \frac{1}{2}m(v_f^2 - v_i^2)

-0.650(9.81)(7.5) = \frac{1}{2}(0 - v_i^2)

47.8 = \frac{1}{2}v^2

v = 9.78 m/s

now by momentum conservation we have

m_1 v_1 = (m_1 + m_2) v

12 v_1 = (100 + 12) 9.78

v_1 = 91.3 m/s

A dog, that has a mass of 16 kgs, runs across a yard. What is the average force applied to the dog from the ground as it runs ac
VikaD [51]

Answer:

156.96 N

Explanation:

F=ma where m is the mass and a is acceleration

Substituting 16 Kg for m and 9.81 m/s2 for g then

F=16*9.81= 156.96 N
