Answer:

The entity that decreases is the Weight.

Explanation:

Every object on the surface of the earth is usually pulled downwards by the action of gravity. The force or weight is W = mg

Now, the farther one gets away from the surface of the earth by climbing a mountain, the further the person is from the Earth's centre of gravity.

We know that the formula for Force of gravity away from the Earth's surface is given by;

F_g = GM1M2/r²

So the greater the distance, the lesser the gravitational force.

Now, the gravitational force equals the weight of the individual.

Thus, the entity that decreases is the Weight of the individual.

Two 800 cm^3 containers hold identical amounts of a monatomic gas at 20°C. Container A is rigid. Container B has a 100 cm^2 pis
Vikki [24]

Answer:

1) Final Temperature of the gas in A will be GREATER than the temperature in B

2) Diagram of both processes on a single PV has been uploaded below

3) The Initial  pressures in containers A and B is 3039.87 J/liters

4) the final volume of container B is 923.36 cm³

Explanation:

Given that;

Temperature = 20°C = 293 K

mass of piston = 10 kg

Area = 100cm³

Volume V = 800 cm³ = 0.8 L

ideal gas constant R = 8.3 J/K·mol

1)

Final Temperature of the gas in A will b GREATER than the temperature in B

2)

Diagram of both processes on a single PV has been uploaded below,

3)

Initial  pressures in containers A and B

PV = nRT

P = RT/V

we substitute

P = (8.3 × 293) /  0.8

P = 2431.9 / 0.8

P = 3039.87 J/liters

Therefore, The Initial  pressures in containers A and B is 3039.87 J/liters

4)

Given that;

power = 25 W

time t = 15s

the final volume of container B = ?

we know that;

work done = power × time

work done = 25 × 15 = 375

Also work done = P( V₂ - V₁ )

so we substitute

375 = 3039.87 ( V₂ - 0.8 )

( V₂ - 0.8 ) = 375 / 3039.87

V₂ - 0.8 = 0.12336

V₂ = 0.12336 + 0.8

V₂ = 0.92336 Litres

V₂ = 923.36 cm³

Therefore, the final volume of container B is 923.36 cm³

What occurs when light bends while passing from one medium to another?
Levart [38]

Answer:So the answer is B

Explanation: When the light rays either bend or change their direction while passing from one medium to another it is called refraction of light. The refraction of light takes place when light travels from air into glass, from glass into air, from air into water or from water into air.

The angle of reflection is the angle the ____ to the reflecting surface.
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The angle of reflection is the angle the reflected rays make with a perpendicular line to the reflecting surface.  

Explanation:

Reflection It is the change of direction suffered by a luminous ray when hitting the surface of an object. The angle of reflection is that which is formed by the reflected ray and the normal vector to the study surface
