Define what is boyleâs law?
lawyer [7]

Answer:

Volume of given mass of gas is inversely proportional to pressure of gas

Explanation:

Boyle's law: It states that the volume of given mass of gas is inversely proportional  to the pressure of gas at constant temperature.

Mathematical representation:

Suppose, a gas of mass m

T=Constant temperature

V=Volume of gas

P=Pressure of gas

Then, V\propto\frac{1}{P}

A wheel that was initially spinning is accelerated at a constant angular acceleration of 5.0 rad/s^2. After 8.0 s, the wheel is
notka56 [123]

Answer:

a)  Initial angular speed = 30 rad/s

b) Final angular speed = 70 rad/s        

Explanation:

a) We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

    Here s = 400 radians

              t = 8 s

              a = 5 rad/s²

    Substituting

             400 = u x 8 + 0.5 x 5 x 8²

              u = 30 rad/s

   Initial angular speed = 30 rad/s

b) We have equation of motion v = u + at

     Here u = 30 rad/s

               t = 8 s

              a = 5 rad/s²  

    Substituting

             v = 30 + 5 x 8 = 70 rad/s    

   Final angular speed = 70 rad/s

Describe how a planet, solar system, galaxy, and the universe are related in terms of size.
Alexus [3.1K]

- The Solar System contains the sun and objects that orbit it, including the eight planets, comets, and asteroids, and the Galaxy contains about 100 billion stars, of which the sun is one, as well as large clouds of gas and dust. - The universe contains all physical matter and energy

So Therefore Universe Is the biggest terms of size because it contains all physical matter and energy hope it helps
