When considering the gas laws, the kelvin temperature scale must be used. the reason for this is that the kelvin scale is directly proportional to the kinetic energy of the paricles, while the centigrade and fahrenheit scales are not. if you double the temperature of a gas, the pressure will double if volume is held constant. this makes sense if we consider that the particles will be striking the sides of the container with twice as much energy. let's say we want to double 10o c. the answer would not be 20oc; rather, it will be 293 oc. 10oc is 283 k ( k = oc + 273). doubling 283k gives 566k. converting back to oc gives 293oc. what is the temperature in celcius if we double -6 oc?

In physics the desire of an object to keep doing what it is doing is termed?

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 740 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of theta= 26 with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is uk = 0.17. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.16 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. the block's initial mechanical energy is 9.472 j. b. if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance l in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.
