Answer:
<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
x = Number of gold coins in a chest
1/2x = Number of gold coins taken by the captain
1/4x = Number of gold coins taken by Sally
3 = Number of gold coins left
2. How many coins were in the chest at the start?
Let's write the following equation to solve for x:
1/2x + 1/4x + 3 = x
2x + x + 12 = 4x (Lowest Common Denominator is 4)
4x - 2x - x = 12 (Like terms)
x = 12
<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>
Answer:
y=75° (opposite angle of parallelogramare equal)
x+8=16(opposite sides are equal)
x=16-8
x=8
Answer:
Kinetic theory explains why the volume of a container must expand when the temperature of the gas inside increases in order for the pressure to remain constant.
Step-by-step explanation:
Charles' law: for a fixed mass of gas at constant pressure the volume is directly proportional to the temperature.
Analysis of a gas when its temperature increases according to kinetic theory:
The temperature has increased therefore the molecules have more kinetic energy, so they move with a greater velocity.¹
If the container's dimensions do not change the molecules will travel across the container between the walls in less time (because they are moving faster and covering the same distance between the container walls). This will increase the rate of collisions, which would increase the pressure.²
But if the dimensions of the container increased then the molecules would cover a larger distance faster thereby maintaining a constant rate of collisions. This would maintain a constant pressure.
