Q:

A series of fast moving still pictures can be made to appear as a moving picture because the eye 

A) can focus very rapidly as pictures change B) is quicker than the brain
C) can see 2 images separated only if the interval betwen seeing them is more than one-tenth of a second D) can shut out some of the light
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) can see 2 images separated only if the interval betwen seeing them is more than one-tenth of a second

Explanation:

The eye can see images separately only if they are exhibited at an interval of more than 1/10 of a second. In the case of a movie, the still pictures come one after the other at less than this minimum interval. So we do not see them separately but only as a continuous moving picture.

Q:

At what temperature do the Fahrenheit and celcius scales give the same reading?

A) 212 degrees B) 32 degreees
C) -40 degreees D) 0 degreees
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) -40 degreees

Explanation:

We want the temperature when F=C.

We know that, F = C x 95 + 32

So substituting C For F, we have C = -40o

Therefore,  C = -40. 

Thus when C = -40, we have C = F

Q:

Which law relates to the ideal gas law?

A) P1T1 = P2T2 B) P1/V1 = P2/V2
C) P1V1 = P2V2 D) T1/V1 = T2/V2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) P1V1 = P2V2

Explanation:

Ideal Gas Law ::

The Combined gas law or General Gas Equation is obtained by combining Boyle's Law, Charles' Law, and Gay-Lussac's Law. It shows the relationship between the pressure, volume, and temperature for a fixed mass (quantity) of gas:

P1V1T1 = P2V2T2

 

Hence, the Boyle's law P1V1 = P2T2, relates to ideal gas equation.
