What could you do to change the volume of a gas?

There are a number of ways you can change the volume of a gas.

Temperature: if you heat the gas it rises causing a change volume because the electrons gain more thermal energy BUT if you cool the gas down it sinks decreasing the molecules (the opposite effect)

Pressure can also change a gases volume. high pressure forces the molecules together creating a solid (along with cold temperatures)

Hope this helps!

There is only one way to change the volume of a sample of gas. You must change the volume of its container. A sample of gas always expands to fill the container it's in.

Phantasy [73]

Answer: force of gravity on the body due to height difference above the earth's surface

Explanation: as you increase the height of a body above ground, you do work against gravity in moving it from a point on the earth's surface to that point. So a body falling has a stored up gravito-potential energy which acts on it downward due to its mass, accelerating it downwards

Answer b): kinetic energy of the body

Explanation: the downward force produces an acceleration of magnitude 9.81m/s2 downwards which means an increasing velocity. This increasing velocity means the kinetic energy of the body is increasing (kinetic energy is proportional to velocity of the body squared)

Can we call centre of gravity centre of weight?

algol [13]

Answer:

Centre of gravity is a theoretical point in the body where the total weight of the body is thought to be concentrated. In a uniform gravitational field, the centre of gravity is identical to the centre of mass. Yet, the two points do not always coincide.

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

8.6*10^5N

Explanation:

Pressure of the water = density of water * height of the water * acceleration due to gravity

Pressure of water = 1000*9.81*(2.5 + 8.50)

Pressure of the water = 107910 = 1.08*10^5

And Pressure = force / A

Force = Pressure * A(surface area of the container)

Force = 1.08*10^5 * 8 = 863280 = 8.6*10^5N

What is Dark Matter?

AveGali [126]

Explanation:

dark matter is a form of matter thought to account for approximately 85% of the matter in the universe and about a quarter of its total mass–energy density or about 2.241×10⁻²⁷ kg/m³. Its presence is implied in a variety of astrophysical observations, including gravitational effects that cannot be explained by accepted theories of gravity unless more matter is present than can be seen. For this reason, most experts think that dark matter is abundant in the universe and that it has had a strong influence on its structure and evolution. Dark matter is called dark because it does not appear to interact with the electromagnetic field, which means it doesn't absorb, reflect or emit electromagnetic radiation, and is therefore difficult to detect.
