Answer:

B) uniform

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Boyle's law, which states that:

For a constant mass of an ideal gas kept at constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to its volume.

Mathematically:

where

p is the pressure of the gas

V is its volume

If we apply the equation to the bottle in the problem, we see that:

- when the volume of the bottle (and therefore, of the gas inside) decreases, than the pressure will increase

- viceversa, when the volume of the bottle increases, the pressure will decrease

The amount by which the pressure increases is inversely proportional to the decrease in volume, so the answer depends on how the volume of the bottle decreases: however, if the volume of the bottle decreases uniformly, then we can say that the pressure inside the bottle will also increases uniformly.

Is a quantum of light or a single packet/particle of light at a given wavelength.

Yanka [14]

Photon is a quantum of light or a single packet/particle of light at a given wavelength.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

It is known that light has dual nature of wave as well as particles. Light waves can behave in wave nature as well as in particle nature depending upon the situation. So the light waves are assumed in different views to easily understand the nature of light waves.

There are several models proposed to simplify the nature of light. Among the several assumptions, one of the most prominent observations are that light waves or quantum of light are termed as photons which are made up of single packet/particles of light in a given wavelength.

How long Tina, a ballerina, in the air when she leaps straight up with a speed of 1.8 m/s?

Tems11 [23]

The acceleration of gravity on or near the surface of the Earth is 9.8 m/s².
Anything acted on only by gravity loses 9.8 m/s of upward speed, or gains
9.8 m/s of downward speed, every second.

Leaping straight upward at 1.8 m/s, Tina keeps rising until she runs out of
upward speed. That happens in (1.8/9.8) = 0.1837 second after the leap.

After that, Finkel's First Law of Motion takes over:
"What goes up must come down."

The dropping part of the leap is symmetrical with the first. Please don't
make me go through proving it. Tina hits the floor at the same speed of
1.8 m/s with which she left it, and it takes the same amount of time to drop
from the peak to the floor as it took to rise from the floor to the peak.

So her total time out of contact with the floor is

2 x (0.1837 sec) = 0.367 second (rounded)

The cost of energy delivered to residences by electrical transmission varies from $0.070/kWh to $0.258/kWh throughout the United

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

(a) $ 1.48

(b) $ 0.005

Explanation:

(a)

First, we calculate the energy consumed, by using following formula:

E = Pt

where,

E = Energy Consumed = ?

P = Power Delivered = (40 W)(1 KW/1000 W) = 0.04 KW

t = Time Duration = (2 weeks)(7 days/week)(24 h/day) = 336 h

Therefore,

E = (0.04 KW)(336 h) = 13.44 KWh

Now, we calculate cost, by following formula:

Cost = (E)(Unit Price)

Cost = (13.44 KWh)($ 0.11/KWh)

Cost = $ 1.48

(b)

First, we calculate the energy consumed, by using following formula:

E = Pt

where,

E = Energy Consumed = ?

P = Power Delivered = (970 W)(1 KW/1000 W) = 0.97 KW

t = Time Duration = (3 min)(1 h/60 min) = 0.05 h

Therefore,

E = (0.97 KW)(0.05 h) = 0.0485 KWh

Now, we calculate cost, by following formula:

Cost = (E)(Unit Price)

Cost = (0.0485 KWh)($ 0.11/KWh)

Cost = $ 0.005

(c)

First, we calculate the energy consumed, by using following formula:

E = Pt

where,

E = Energy Consumed = ?

P = Power Delivered = (5.203 x 10³ W)(1 KW/1000 W) = 5.203 KW

t = Time Duration = (40 min)(1 h/60 min) = 0.67 h

Therefore,

E = (5.203 KW)(0.67 h) = 3.47 KWh

Now, we calculate cost, by following formula:

Cost = (E)(Unit Price)

Cost = (3.47 KWh)($ 0.11/KWh)

Cost = $ 0.38
