time)of)6)sec.)

Question)4:)

The)answer)is)F.)This)is)the)time)interval)between)both)zero6values)for)the)curve)for)
gape)angle.)

Question)5:)

The)answer)is)D.)During)Stage)1,)the)speed)of)the)whale)is)increasing)only,)as)time)
increases.)We)know)from)science)class)that)momentum)is)directly)proportional)to)
speed,)so)the)greatest)time)value,)among)the)answer)choices)listed,)corresponds)to)
the)greatest)speed)and)momentum.)

Question)6:)

The)answer)is)G.)As)the)gape)angle)of)the)whale)increases)its)mouth)opens)wider,)
which)means)that)the)frontal)area)of)the)whale)increases,)which)causes)water)

40

The)answer)is)C.)Based)on)the)curve)for)height)in)Figure)2,)the)third)trip)up)the)tower)
corresponds)to)the)part)of)the)curve)beyond)the)third)lowest)peak,)for)which)the)
height)decreases.)Part)of)this)curve)is)cut)off)so)you)have)to)extrapolate)what)the)
fourth)greatest)peak)height)would)be)based)on)the)other)3)peak)heights)shown.)The)
difference)in)peak)height)between)the)first)and)second)peak)is)about)8)meters.)The)
difference)in)peak)height)between)the)second)and)third)peak)is)about)5)meters.)
Based)on)this)trend,)the)difference)in)peak)height)between)the)third)and)fourth)peak)
is)probably)about)3)to)4)meters.)So)the)fourth)greatest)peak)height)is)about)34)to)35)
meters.)

Question)21:)

The)answer)is)A.)In)Trials)164,)as)N_{in}Nin)increases,)the)value)of)\mathcal{E}_{out}E
out)decreases.)So)for)N_{in}Nin=300,)\mathcal{E}_{out}Eout)must)be)less)than)the)
value)of)\mathcal{E}_{out}Eout)for)N_{in}Nin=250.)

Question)22:)

The)answer)is)G.)In)Table)1,)in)Trials)568)it)shows)that)as)\mathcal{E}_{out}Eout

Question)35:)

The)answer)is)B,)because)Figure)2)shows)the)relationship)between)P)and)n.)

Question)36:)

The)answer)is)J.)Looking)at)Figures)163)you)can)see)that)the)curve)for)Gas)Z)is)closer)
to)the)IGL)curve)than)Gas)Y.)

Question)37:)

The)answer)is)D.)From)science)class)you)know)that)the)average)kinetic)energy)of)a)
gas)increases)as)its)temperature)increases.)From)Figure)1,)a)pressure)of)4.0)MPa)
corresponds)to)a)higher)temperature)than)a)pressure)of)2.0)MPa,)for)Gas)Y.)

Question)38:)

The)answer)is)J.)Out)of)the)3)experiments,)the)maximum)pressure)measured)for)the)
real)gases)tested)is)approximately)105)MPa,)as)seen)in)Figure)2)for)Gas)Y.)This)must)
be)closest)to)the)maximum)container)pressure,)which)would)allow)all)other)
pressures)measured)in)the)experiments)(lower)than)105)MPa))to)be)withstood)
without)the)container)bursting.)

Question)39:)

The)answer)is)C.)In)Figure)2,)with)25)MPa)for)Gas)Y,)n=5)moles.)Therefore)the)mass)
of)Gas)Y)at)this)pressure)is)5×20=100)g.)

Question)40:)

The)answer)is)F.)Based)on)Figure)3,)as)volume)decreases)pressure)increases.)So)we)
need)to)adjust)another)experimental)variable)that)will)decrease)the)pressure,)in)
order)to)offset)the)tendency)for)the)pressure)to)increase)(as)volume)decreases).)
Keeping)the)amount)of)moles)constant)(n=1),)we)can)see)in)Figure)1)that)decreasing)
temperature)causes)pressure)to)decrease.)
