Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

A diver works in the sea on a day when the atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa. The diver uses compressed air to breathe under water. 1700 litres of air from the atmosphere is compressed into a 12-litre gas cylinder. The compressed air quickly cools to its original temperature. Calculate the pressure of the air in the cylinder.

Solution:

Boyles law states that the volume of a given gas is inversely proportional to the pressure exerted by the gas, provided that the temperature is constant.

That is:

P ∝ 1/V;   PV = constant

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Given that P₁ = initial pressure = 101 kPa, V₁ = initial volume = 1700 L, P₂ = cylinder pressure, V₂ = cylinder volume = 12 L. Hence:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

100 kPa * 1700 L = P₂ * 12 L

P₂ = (100 kPa * 1700 L) / 12 L

P₂ = 14308 kPa

What would happen if both the radius and mass of a planet were cut in half
Shtirlitz [24]

Explanation:

According to formula

g = GM/R^2

when mass is halved the value of g becomes half but when radius is halved the value of g increases 4 times.

As a result of both value of g becomes twice.

John runs 120 meters in 10 seconds and then runs back to where he started in another 10 seconds. Which statement is true? Rememb
atroni [7]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

<em>A. His speed is 0 m/s </em>

<em>B. His velocity is 12 m/s </em>

<em>C. His velocity is 0 m/s </em>

<em>D. His acceleration is 12 m/s</em>

Total distance traveled by John = 120 + 120 = 240 meters

Total time taken by John to cover the distance = 10 + 10 = 20 s

<em>Average speed of John = total distance traveled/total time taken</em>

      = 240/20 = 12 m/s

Hence, the average speed/velocity of John throughout the journey is 12 m/s.

The correct option is B.

What happens to a light wave when it travels from air into glass?
tino4ka555 [31]
Light is refracted when it crosses the interface from air to glass in which it moves more slowly.
Since the light speed changes at the interface, the wave length of the light must change too. The wave length decreases as the light enter the medium and the light wave changes direction.

How would local winds be affected if water and land release heat at the same time
BlackZzzverrR [31]
Local winds are driven by temperature differences in areas fairly close to each other. If water and land absorbed and released heat at the same rate, there wouldn't be any temperature differences and nothing to power local winds. See the related link for further information.
