The first man is east of the pole and the 2nd man is |South. Between South and east the angle is 90 degrees - a right angle.

i dont know how to solve this Question ,,

Q: The sum of two numbers is 131. Twice of one number is 5 less than the other . find the numbers

at the back of the book answers are " 42 and 89 "

let me answer it for you.

By simultaneous equations.

Let the numbers are x,y

x+y=131
this is equation (1)
now.. 2x-y=5
as 2x+5=y

now solve it.
you will get x=42 and y=89

OK guys I did some phy papers and I had some doubts (this is paper 3 2008 June , 2nd vairent)
1.One of the laws about the behaviour of gases states that
“For a fixed amount of gas at constant temperature, the pressure is inversely proportional
to the volume”.
In the space below, write an equation that represents this law.


So i wrote P=1/V
but the ms says that NOT correct and the correct ans is pV=constant

2.Explain, in terms of molecules, how thermal expansion takes place in a solid and in a
gas.

P.S. I got the gas part, need hwlp on the solid part.
Sold:
My ans:The molecules gain more kinetic energy and and vibrate more annd faster. Thus the molecules require greater space.
MS:SOLID higher temperature means higher energy/greater speed of
mols/particles/atoms
NOT more vibration NOT vibrate more

should be P=k/v which is equivalent to PV=k
2. When a solid is heated the molecules vibrate against each other and push each other apart.

The molecules in the solid vibrate more so push each other further apart on average.

The second part of the question needs help.
Q.The air in a bicycle tyre has a volume of 1000cm3 and a pressure of 2.5 atmospheres. If the air is released ( at the same temperature) so its pressure is 1 atmosphere, what is the volume of the air?

This part needs help

A bicycle has a volume of 100cm3 and is now used to pump up the tyre. After 1 stroke of the pump, what is the presure in the tyre?

Thanks
