Answer:

The x - intercept is 1/3

The y - intercept is 1/2

The gradient is -3/2

Explanation:

To find the x - intercept of the equation 2y + 3x = 1, we find the value of x when y = 0. So,

2y + 3x = 1

2(0) + 3x = 1

0 + 3x = 1

3x = 1

x = 1/3

So, the x - intercept is 1/3

To find the y - intercept of the equation 2y + 3x = 1, we find the value of y when x = 0. So,

2y + 3x = 1

2y + 3(0) = 1

2y + 0 = 1

2y = 1

y = 1/2

So, the y - intercept is 1/2

To find the gradient of the equation 2y + 3x = 1, we re-write it in gradient intercept form by making y subject of the formula.

So, 2y + 3x = 1

2y = -3x + 1

y = -3x/2 + 1/2

The coefficient of x which equals -3/2 is the gradient.

The gradient is -3/2

: Does increasing temperature increase pressure?

Vesnalui [34]

Yes, an increase in temperature is accompanied by an increase in pressure. Temperature is the measurement of heat present and more heat means more energy. Molecules in hotter temperatures move faster and more often, eventually moving into the gaseous phase. The molecules would fill the container, and the hotter it got the more they would bounce off the walls, pushing outward, increasing the pressure.
I suppose you could measure this with some kind of loosely inflated balloon and subject it to different temperatures and then somehow measure the size/pressure of it.

Delvig [45]

Answer:

Increase in the temperature of water would be 0.9 degree C

Explanation:

As we know by energy conservation

Change in the gravitational potential energy of the cylinder = increase in the thermal energy of the water

Here we know that the gravitational potential energy of the cylinder is given as

$U = mgh$

here we have

h = 300 m

now we can say

$Mc\Delta T = (m \times 9.8 \times 300)$

now if the cylinder falls from height h = 100 m

then we have

$Mc\Delta T' = (m \times 9.8 \times 100)$

now from above two equations

$\frac{\Delta T'}{\Delta T} = \frac{100}{300}$

$\Delta T' = 2.7 \times \frac{1}{3} = 0.9 Degree C$
