Answer:

Decrease the number of gas particles, increase the object's area, and reduce the temperature of the gas

Explanation:

TEMPERATURE:

Decreasing the temperature will slow down the molecules. Hence, less no. of collisions will take place between walls of object and molecules. This will result in decrease of pressure.

Therefore, the pressure of a gas can be decreased by increasing its temperature.

NUMBER OF GAS PARTICLES:

Decreasing the number of particles will result in less no. of collisions, hence decreasing the pressure.

Therefore, the pressure of a gas can be decreased by decreasing its no. of molecules or no. of particles.

AREA OF OBJECT:

The pressure is given by the formula:

$P = \frac{F}{A}\\\\For constant Force (F):\\P\ \alpha\ \frac{1}{A}$

where,

A = Area of Object

Therefore, the pressure of a gas can be decreased by increasing area of object.

So, the correct option is:

Decrease the number of gas particles, increase the object's area, and reduce the temperature of the gas

Explain how the plants of a tropical rain forest contribute to the characteristic hot, humid weather associated with the area. U

Talja [164]

Answer: The atmosphere of trophic rainforest is hot and humid due to high rate of transpiration.

Explanation:

The tropical rainforest is a biome which exhibit rich biodiversity of plants and animals. The average temperatures in this region remain high with warm summer. It remains frost free. The soil is nutrient deficient. Due to hot temperature the rate of transpiration remains high as a result the concentration of the water vapors remain high. This is responsible for increasing the humidity in the atmosphere also this region receives appreciable amount of rainfall annually. The average rainfall range is 200-450 centimeters.

A 6 kg box with initial speed 5 m/s slides across the floor and comes to a stop after 1.9 s. What is the coefficient of kinetic

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

$\mu_k=0.27$

Explanation:

According to the free body diagram, in this case, we have:

$\sum F_x:-F_k=ma\\\sum F_y:N=mg$

Recall that the force of friction is given by:

$F_k=\mu_k N$

Replacing and solving for the coefficient of kinetic friction:

$-\mu_kN=ma\\-\mu_k(mg)=ma\\\mu_k=-\frac{a}{g}$

We have an uniformly accelerated motion. Thus, the acceleration is defined as:

$a=\frac{v_f-v_0}{t}\\a=\frac{0-5\frac{m}{s}}{1.9s}\\a=-2.63\frac{m}{s^2}$

Finally, we calculate $\mu_k$ :

$\mu_k=-\frac{-2.63\frac{m}{s^2}}{9.8\frac{m}{s^2}}\\\mu_k=0.27$

Some hypothetical alloy is composed of 12.5 wt% of metal A and 87.5 wt% of metal B. If the densities of metals A and B are 4.27

densk [106]

Answer:

The number of atoms in the unit cell is 2, the crystal structure for the alloy is body centered cubic.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of metal A = 12.5%

Weight of metal B = 87.5%

Length of unit cell = 0.395 nm

Density of A = 4.27 g/cm³

Density of B= 6.35 g/cm³

Weight of A = 61.4 g/mol

Weight of B = 125.7 g/mol

We need to calculate the density of the alloy

Using formula of density

$\rho=n\times\dfrac{m}{V_{c}\times N_{A}}$

$n=\dfrac{\rho\timesV_{c}\times N}{m}$ ....(I)

Where, n = number of atoms per unit cells

m = Mass of the alloy

V=Volume of the unit cell

N = Avogadro number

We calculate the density of alloy

$\rho=\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{12.5}{4.27}+\dfrac{87.5}{6.35}}\times100$

$\rho=5.98$

We calculate the mass of the alloy

$m=\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{12.5}{61.4}+\dfrac{87.5}{125.7}}\times100$

$m=111.15$

Put the value into the equation (I)

$n=\dfrac{5.9855\times(0.395\times10^{-9}\times10^{2})^3\times6.023\times10^{23}}{111.15}$

$n=1.99\approx 2\ atoms/cell$

Hence, The number of atoms in the unit cell is 2, the crystal structure for the alloy is body centered cubic.

When converted to a household measurement, 9 kilograms is approximately equal to a

kolezko [41]

Answer:

D) 19.8 lbs

Explanation:

1kg in household measurement is equal to 35.274 ounces. 35.274*9=317.466 ounces.

1kg is also equal to 2.205 lbs. 9*2.205=19.8416

9 kg is also equal to 9000 grams, but grams are not a part of the household measurement system

a) 9000 grams. b) 9000 ounces. c) 19.8 ounces. d) 19.8 pounds.

This leaves us with 19.8 lbs
