Answer:
When the volume increases or when the temperature decreases
Explanation:
The ideal gas equation states that:
where
p is the gas pressure
V is the volume
n is the number of moles of gas
R is the gas constant
T is the gas temperature
Assuming that we have a fixed amount of gas, so n is constant, we can rewrite the equation as
which means the following:
- Pressure is inversely proportional to the volume: this means that the pressure decreases when the volume increases
- Pressure is directly proportional to the temperature: this means that the pressure decreases when the temperature decreases
The horizontal distance covered by the ball before hitting the water is 70.4 m
Explanation:
The motion of the ball is the motion of a projectile, so it consists of two independent motions:
- A uniform motion along the horizontal (x) direction
- A uniformly accelerated motion along the vertical (y) direction
We start by calculating the time of flight of the ball. This can be done by analyzing the vertical motion. We can use the following suvat equation:
where:
s = -16.5 m is the vertical displacement of the ball (it is negative because we take upward as positive direction)
is the initial vertical velocity of the ball, which is given by
where
u = 23.5 m/s is the initial velocity
is the angle of projection
Substituting,
is the acceleration of gravity, downward
Substituting everything into the equation we get:
Solving the equation for t, we find the time of flight of the ball:
t = -0.94 s
t = 3.59 s
We ignore the 1st solution since it is negative, so the ball reaches the water after 3.59 seconds.
Now we analyze the horizontal motion of the ball. The horizontal velocity is constant and it is:
Therefore, the horizontal distance covered in a time t is
And substituting t = 3.59 s, we find
So, the horizontal distance covered by the ball before hitting the water is 70.4 m.
