Answer:

Decreases

Explanation:

As an object falls from some height, the gravitational potential energy of the object decreases.

Potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body.

The potential energy is mathematically expressed as:

Potential energy = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height

So, potential energy is directly proportional to mass and height.

The higher the mass and height, the more the potential energy.

9. Una jeringa contiene cloro gaseoso, que ocupa un volumen de 95 mL a una presión de 0,96 atm. ¿Qué presión debemos ejercer en

masha68 [24]

Answer:

2.61 atm

Ley de Boyle

Explanation:

$P_1$ = Presión inicial = 0.96 atm

$P_2$ = Presión final

$V_1$ = Volumen inicial = 95 mL

$V_2$ = Volumen final = 35 mL

En este problema usaremos la ley de Boyle.

$\dfrac{P_1}{P_2}=\dfrac{V_2}{V_1}\\\Rightarrow P_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{V_2}\\\Rightarrow P_2=\dfrac{0.96\times 95}{35}\\\Rightarrow P_1=2.61\ \text{atm}$

La presión ejercida sobre el émbolo para reducir su volumen es de 2.61 atm.
