Answer:
a) P1=100kpa
V1=6m³
V2=?
P2=50kpa
rearranging mathematically the expression for Boyle's law
V2=(P1V1)/P2=(100×6)/50=12m³
b) same apartment as in (a) but only the value of P2 changes
=> V2=(100×6)/40=15m³
Explanation:
since temperature is not changing we use Boyle's law. mathematically expressed as P1V1=P2V2
Answer:
The coefficient of static friction is 0.29
Explanation:
Given that,
Radius of the merry-go-round, r = 4.4 m
The operator turns on the ride and brings it up to its proper turning rate of one complete rotation every 7.7 s.
We need to find the least coefficient of static friction between the cat and the merry-go-round that will allow the cat to stay in place, without sliding. For this the centripetal force is balanced by the frictional force.

v is the speed of cat, 

So, the least coefficient of static friction between the cat and the merry-go-round is 0.29.
Potential and kinetic energy are the two types of energy, but they do get separated into subgroups, for which I do not know. Hope that helps.
