Questions and Answers

What effect does an increase in temperature have on the volume of gas at constant pressure according to Charles's Law?

The volume increases. (correct)

The volume decreases.

The volume fluctuates unpredictably.

The volume remains unchanged.

Which of the following best describes the relationship between work, force, and distance?

Work is the product of force and distance in the direction of the force. (correct)

Work is equal to force divided by distance.

Work increases as distance decreases.

Work is independent of both force and distance.
