Answer:

Vr = 20 [km/h]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we have to add the relative velocities. We must remember that velocity is a vector, therefore it has magnitude and direction. We will take the sea as the reference measurement level.

Let's take the direction of the ship as positive. Therefore the boy moves in the opposite direction (Negative) to the reference level (the sea).

$V_{r}=30-10\\V_{r}=20 [km/h]$

The pressure of a gas is reduced from 1200.0 mm hg to 850.0 mm hg as the volume of its container is increased by moving a piston

Kamila [148]

From gas laws:
$\frac{PV}{T} = Constant$

Therefore,
$\frac{ P_{1} V_{1} }{ T_{1} } = \frac{ P_{2} V_{2} }{ T_{2} }$

P1 = 1200 mm
V1 = 85 ml
T1 = 90°C = 363.15 K
P2 = 850 mm
V2 = 350 ml
T2 = ?

Substituting;
$T_{2} = \frac{ P_{2} V_{2} T_{1} }{ P^{1} V^{1} } = \frac{850*350*363.15}{1200*85} = 1059.19 K$ = 786.04 °C
