Answer:

a)The temperature of the gas in increased by four times its original value.

Explanation:

For a fixed amount of a gas, the ideal gas equation can be written as follows:

$\frac{pV}{T}=const.$

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the gas volume

T is the gas temperature (in Kelvins)

For a gas under transformation, the equation can also be rewritten as

$\frac{p_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{p_2V_2}{T_2}$

where the labels 1,2 refer to the initial and final conditions of the gas.

In this problem, we have:

- The pressure of the gas is doubled: $p_2 = 2p_1$

- The volume of the gas is doubled: $V_2=2V_1$

Substituting into the equation, we find what happens to the temperature:

$\frac{p_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{(2 p_1)(2V_1)}{T_2}$

$\frac{1}{T_1}=\frac{4}{T_2}$

$T_2 = 4T_1$

So, the correct choice is

a)The temperature of the gas in increased by four times its original value.

Why does a black hole have a stronger gravitational pull than the star that collapse to form it?

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

We consider Black Holes as an object that possesses extreme gravitational pull, but wait aren’t they have the same mass(or less) as that of their parent star. And we know that gravitational pull ‘F’ is directly proportional to the mass of an object, so if the mass is same(or less) then why do black holes have stronger gravity than the stars they evolved from.

The above consideration that F is directly proportional to the mass is partially correct, one should also mention that F is also inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the considered objects.

F = G*(M*m)/(r^2)

Where:

· F is the force acting on you due to star

· M is the mass of Parent star / Black Hole

· m is the mass of an observer, here it is you

· r is the radial distance between the star and you

We know that black hole formed, has much smaller size than that of its parent star and all that mass is compressed to a much smaller scale. If you consider a Star as having a size of an earth then the black hole formed will have a size of small city.

Let us say that you are standing at an r distance away from a star (r>R1), where R1 is the radius of the star, of course (R1>R2), where R2 is the radius of Black Hole.

The Force by which the star in case 1 attracts you will be equal(or less) to the force by which black hole in case 2. So, there is nothing increase in gravitational pull, it is same(or less) as that of the parent star.

Wait a minute, then why people say that black holes have massive gravitational pull.

The gravitational pull increases as we move closer to the black hole, and when we are at its surface, it is enormous as compare to its star surface, because of the difference in the size.

We know that gravitational pull not only depends upon the mass but also depends upon the radial distance between the concerned objects here, it is you and the black hole.

Here, the size of the black hole is much smaller than that of its parent star, i.e (R1>>>R2), and thus we get F1<<<F2, and that is why we say that the black hole has enormous gravitational pull, such that nothing can escape, not even light.

What does photosenthesis mean 88 points

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process in which green plants use sunlight to make their own food. Photosynthesis requires sunlight, chlorophyll, water, and carbon dioxide gas. It is the process in which the chlorophyll in the leaves of the plant use the sunlight and water to convert the carbon dioxide gas into energy for the plant to use.

Question 1(Multiple Choice Worth 4 points) The star named Canopus has a declination of approximately –52°. Which of these statem

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

It is 52° below the celestial equator.

Explanation:

The declination is the angle in degrees measured north (+) or south (-) of the an imaginary line called the celestial equator.

The celestial equator is a projection of the earth's equator on the celestial sphere. imaginary

The star named Canopus has a declination of approximately –52°.

Since the angle is negative, this shows that it is south or below the celestial equator and at 52° south of the celestial equator.

Thus, the star named Caponus is 52° below the celestial equator.

Two long parallel wires are separated by forty centimeters and carry oppositely-directed currents of ten amperes. Find the magni

Softa [21]

Answer:

1.04μT

Explanation:

Due to both wires have opposite currents, the magnitude of the total magnetic field is given by

$B_T=\frac{\mu_o I}{2 \pi r_1}-\frac{\mu_o I}{2 \pi r_2}$

I: electric current = 10A

mu_o: magnetic permeability of vacuum = 4pi*10^{-7} N/A^2

r1: distance from wire 1 to the point in which B is measured.

r2: distance from wire 2.

The distance between wires is 40cm = 0.4m. Hence, r1=0.2m r2=0.6m

By replacing in the formula you obtain:

$B_T=\frac{(4\pi *10^{-7}N/A^2)(10A)}{2\pi}(\frac{1}{0.4m}-\frac{1}{0.6m})=1.04*10^{-6}T =1.04\mu T$

hence, the magnitude of the magnetic field is 1.04μT
