Law's

Question 1

What is Boyle’s law?

Answer 1

For a fixed mass of gas, at constant temperature and pressure, the pressure is inversely proportional to the volume. P ∝ 1/V

Question 2

What is Charles’ law?

Answer 2

For a fixed mass of gas, at a constant temperature and pressure, the volume is directly proportional to the temperature (in kelvin). V ∝ T (in K) x K - the constant

Question 3

Coulombs law?

Answer 3

Any two point charges exert an electrostatic force on each other - it is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of their separation

Question 4

Faradays law?

Answer 4

The magnitude of the induced EMF is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux

Question 5

Hookes law?

Answer 5

The force applied is directly proportional to the extension of the spring unless the limit of proportionality is exceeded

Question 6

Archimedes principle?

Answer 6

The upthrust exerted on a body immersed in a fluid (fully or partially), is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces

Question 28

Blue shifted?

Answer 28

If a galaxy is moving towards earth, absorption lines move towards the blue end of the spectrum (as wavelength appears shorter - compressed), red shift is the opposite

Question 29

Hubbles law?

Answer 29

The recessional speed (v) of a galaxy is almost directly proportional to its distance from earth (d) - V = humbles constant x d

Question 30

Question 32

Kepler's 2nd law?

Answer 32

A line segment joining a planet and the sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals time

Question 33

Kepler's 3rd law?

Answer 33

The square of the orbital period T of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of its average distance r from the sun

Question 34
