For an ideal gas in a confined area, when the volume is decreased and the temperature is increased at the exact same time, the... a. average kinetic energy is decreased b. number of collisions is decreased c. pressure stays constant d. pressure decreases e. pressure increases

e.pressure increases

Explanation:

Recall that we define temperature as a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a body.

For a given mass of gas defined by pressure, volume and temperature, adjustments in volume and temperature will affect the pressure of the gas.

When the volume is decreased, more gas molecules are enclosed in a small place, they tend to collide more frequently with the walls of the container thereby increasing the pressure of the gas.

Increasing the temperature of the gas increases the kinetic energy of the gas molecules hence they collide even faster with the walls of the container thereby increasing the pressure of the given mass of gas.

answer: option (4) is the correct answer.

explanation:

areas which are at low altitudes and near the equator tend to receive direct sunlight from the sun. hence, heat energy or radiations from the sun make these areas warmer and they have warmest water.

whereas areas which are at high altitudes and away from the equator do no receive direct sunlight. hence, no direct contact from the sun makes these regions colder and thus, they have colder water.

thus, we can conclude that the statement areas at low latitudes near the equator have the warmest water because they receive the most direct sunlight best explains the relationship between an area's geography and the temperature of its surface water.
