Answer:

B) uniform

Explanation:

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

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

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.

alexdok [17]

Answer:

Deep ocean trenches

Explanation:

Subduction zones are Earth's lithosphere (the crust and as well as the upper non-convecting part of the upper mantle) gravitational collapsing sites. Along convergent plate boundaries, subduction zones exist where one sheet of oceanic lithosphere merges with any other layer. So, in order to find depth of water in the sea, we can find these subduction zones. The best places are a deep ocean- trench like the Mariana Trench in the pacific ocean.

A person slaps her leg with her hand, which results in her hand coming to rest in a time interval of 2.75 ms from an initial spe

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

1350N

Explanation:

$2.75 ms = 2.75*10^{-3}s$

The force exerted on the hand would be the momentum divided by the duration of contact.

As the hand is coming to rest, final velocity would be 0

$F = \frac{\Delta P}{\Delta t} = \frac{m(0 - v)}{\Delta t} = \frac{1.65*(2.25 - 0)}{2.75 * 10^{-3}} = -1350 N$

The magnitude of the force would be 1350N

A student was given a sample of crude acetanilide to recrystallize. The initial mass of the the crude acetanilide was 166 mg. Th

padilas [110]

Answer:

The percentage of mass recover from recrystallization = 24.69 %

Explanation:

Given that

Initial mass of crude acetanilide = 166 gm

The mass after recrystallization = 125 gm

The mass recover from recrystallization= 166 - 125 gm

The mass recover from recrystallization= 41 gm

The percentage of mass recover from recrystallization can be find as

$percentage\ of\ mass\ recover\ from\ recrystallization\ =\dfrac{166-125}{166}$

The percentage of mass recover from recrystallization = 24.69 %

A 60-W light bulb runs on 120 V and draws 0.50 A of current when running

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

3600 J

Explanation:

According to given question

P(rated)=60w

V= 120

I =0.50 A

t=600 second

Now,

Energy can be calculated as :

$E= VI*t$

Where,

V is voltage

I is current

t is time in second

Now,

Putting the all value in above equation E

So,

$E=120*0.5*600\\E=36000 J$

Therefore, 36000 J energy use up by light bulb
