A hot air balloon has an air vent that keeps the air pressure inside and outside the same. Allen observes that a hot air balloon rises up when the gas molecules inside it are heated. Which of the following laws is used to understand the behavior of the gas and why?
a) The high temperature brings the gas molecules closer together according to Charles's law because this law describes how a gas will behave at constant pressure
b) The high temperature makes the gas molecules spread apart according to Charles's law because this law describes how a gas will behave at constant pressure.
c) The high temperature lowers volume according to Boyle's law because this law describes how a gas will behave when the number of moles remains constant.
d) The high temperature ralses volume according to Boyle's law because this law describes how a gas will behave when the number of moles remains constant.

B - The high temperature makes the gas molecules spread apart according to Charles's law because this law describes how a gas will behave at constant pressure.

Explanation:

Charle's Law describes the relationship between temperature and volume, where increased temperature leads to increased volume. When volume is increased, that means the gas molecules are more spread apart and have more random motion. Therefore, the answer is B.

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.
