Answer:
45

Solution: you can use the above method or you can cross multiply. That’s mean multiplying the numerator of the left side by the denomination of the right. And the denominator on the left by the numerator on the right (it makes an x shape). Therefore, your algebraic equation should look like this and solve for x

14x=15*42
14x=630
X=630/14
X=45

Answer:

x=45

Explanation:

by taking 42 and dividing it by 14 you get 1/3, because 14 is 1/3 of 42 you can then see that the ratio is multiplied by 3. si then you can just multiply 15 by 3 to get 45

A gas, behaving ideally, has a pressure P1 and at a volume V1. The pressure of the gas is changed to P2. Using Avogadro’s, Charl

Bond [772]

Answer:

Boyle's Law

$\therefore P_1.V_1=P_2.V_2$

Explanation:

Given that:

initially:

pressure of gas, $= P_1$

volume of gas, $= V_1$

finally:

pressure of gas, $= P_2$

volume of gas, $= V_2$

To solve for final volume $V_2$

According to Avogadro’s law the volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the no. of moles of the gas under a constant temperature and pressure.

According to the Charles' law, at constant pressure the volume of a given mass of an ideal gas is directly proportional to its temperature.

But here we have a change in the pressure of the Gas so we cannot apply Avogadro’s law and Charles' law.

Here nothing is said about the temperature, so we consider the Boyle's Law which states that at constant temperature the volume of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.

Mathematically:

$P_1\propto \frac{1}{V_1}$

$\Rightarrow P_1.V_1=k\ \rm(constant)$

$\therefore P_1.V_1=P_2.V_2$

A wire of Nichrome (a nickelâ€“ chromiumâ€“ iron alloy commonly used in heating elements) is 1.0 m long and 1.0 mmÂ² in cross-se

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The conductivity of Nichrome is $2\times 10^6\ S/m$ .

Explanation:

Given:

Potential difference (V) = 2.0 V

Current flowing (I) = 4.0 A

Length of wire (L) = 1.0 m

Area of cross section of wire (A) = 1.0 mm² = 1 × 10⁻⁶ m² [1 mm² = 10⁻⁶ m²]

We know, from Ohm's law, that the ratio of voltage and current is always a constant and equal to the resistance of the resistor. Therefore, the resistance of the nichrome wire is given as:

$R=\frac{V}{A}=\frac{2.0}{4.0}=0.5\ \Omega$
