The volume of a gas in a container varies inversely with the pressure on the gas. A container of helium has a volume of 370in3 u

nder a pressure of 15psi (pounds per square inch). Write the equation that relates the volume, V, to the pressure, P. What would be the volume of this gas if the pressure was increased to 25psi?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When two variables vary inversely, it means that an increase in one would lead to a decrease in the other and vice versa. Since the volume of a gas, V in a container varies inversely with the pressure on the gas, P, if we introduce a constant of proportionality, k, the expression would be

V = k/P

If V = 370 in³ and P = 15psi, then

370 = k/15

k = 370 × 15 = 5550

The equation that relates the volume, V, to the pressure, P would be

V = 5550/P

if the pressure was increased to 25psi, the volume would be

V = 5550/25 = 222 in³

Sergeu [11.5K]

This question is incomplete because it lacks the appropriate figure. Find attached to this answer the diagram of the figure.

Answer:

8%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Probability =

Numbers of possible outcomes ÷ Number of events.

From the diagram, Number of Possible outcomes is given as = Number of Adults that prefer auto racing = 179 adults

Number of events is obtained from the questions as the Number of Adults = 2237 adults

Probability that an adult chosen at random prefers auto racing = 179 adults /2237 adults

= 0.0800178811

Rounding my answer to the nearest whole percent, the probability that an adult chosen at random prefers auto racing

= 0.0800178811 × 100

= 8%

An angle measure of 55.45 is converted to DMS notation as
jek_recluse [69]

Converting angle measure of 55.45 to DMS notation we get 55 degrees 27 minutes 0 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to convert angle measure of 55.45 to DMS notation

DMS notation is Degree Minute and seconds

Solving:

We have 55.45, the value before decimal is considered as degrees and values after decimal can be minutes and seconds.

We can write it as 55 and 0.45

So, we have 55 degrees

To find minutes we will multiply 0.45 by 60

0.45*60 = 27 minutes

Since we have no decimal value in minutes so seconds will be 0

So, DMS will be 55 degrees 27 minutes 0 seconds

Hence converting angle measure of 55.45 to DMS notation we get 55 degrees 27 minutes 0 seconds

Which is a characteristic of the line that passes through the points (6, 10) and (12, 7)? The slope is mc015-1.jpg. The slope is
lbvjy [14]
Answer:
slope of the line is -0.5
y-intercept is 13

Explanation:
The general formula of the linear equation is:
y = mx + c 
where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

1- getting the slope:
We are given the two points:
(6,10) representing (x1 , y1)
(12,7) representing (x2 , y2)
The slope of the line will be calculated as follows:
m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) = (7-10) / (12-6) = -3/6 = -0.5
The equation of the line now becomes:
y = -0.5x + c

2- getting the value of the y-intercept:
To get the value of the y-intercept (c), we will use any of the given points, substitute in the equation of the line and solve for c. I will use the point (6,10) as follows:
y = -0.5x + c
10 = -0.5(6) + c
10 = -3 + c
c = 13

Based on the above, the equation of the line would be:
y = -0.5x + 13

Hope this helps :)
