A sample of compressed methane has a volume of 648 mL at a pressure of 503 kPa. To what pressure would themethane have to be compressed in order to have a volume of 216 mL?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

In order to have a volume of 216 ml, the methane have to be compressed at a pressure of 1509 kPa.

Explanation:

This problem is solved by using Boyle's law which states that at constant temperature pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume. It describes how the pressure of a gas increases with a decrease in the volume of a container. The formula is given as,

                                        P1 V1 = P2 V2

where P1 and V1 are first pressure and volume,

           P2 and V2 are second pressure and volume.

Given P1 = 503 kPa,            V1 = 648 ml,  and     V2 = 216 ml

                  P2 = (P1 * V1 ) / V2 = (503 * 648) / 216

                  P2 = 1509 kPa.

What is the weight of a 45 kg box? N

Answers

45 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 441 N.

Answer:

The force of a mass's weight is defined as its mass * acceleration due to gravity.

On Earth, g is about 9.8 m/s^2. This will be the acceleration due to gravity.

Then, 45 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 441 N.

How are electromagnets made and how do they work?

Answers

Electromagnets

When an electric current flows in a wire, it creates a magnetic field around the wire. This effect can be used to make an electromagnet. A simple electromagnet comprises a length of wire turned into a coil and connected to a battery or power supply.

Compare and contrast the general characteristics of a gas giant planet and one of the inner planets (such as Mercury, Earth, Venus or Mars)? Give two differences and one similarity.

Answers

The gas planets usually have extremely high gravitational pulls, the surface isn't solid (since its a gas planet), and gas planets are larger than the inner planets. 
Similarities- These planets all have moons and they both revolve around the sun (obviously).


Hope this helps.

What is the relashinship between the mass and size of a planet?

Answers

size is in relation to distance(how far across or around)mass is measuring how much there is, mass is related to both size and DENSITY, EX: A balloon has a large size but a tiny mass, compared to a bowling ball, which has a similar size but a much larger mass
