An ideal gas at 27°c is contained in a piston that ensures that its pressure will always be constant. raising the temperature of the gas causes it to expand. at what temperature will the gas take up twice its original volume?

Aspecimen of oil having an initial volume of 580cm^3 is subjected to a pressure increase of 4.0 mpa, and the volume is found to decrease by 0.40 cm^3. (a) what is the bulk modulus of the material? (b) what is the compressibility of the material?

Boxing gloves are padded to lessen the force of a blow. (a) calculate the force exerted by a boxing glove on an opponent’s face, if the glove and face compress 7.50 cm during a blow in which the 7.00-kg arm and glove are brought to rest from an initial speed of 10.0 m/s. (b) calculate the force exerted by an identical blow in the gory old days when no gloves were used and the knuckles and face would compress only 2.00 cm. (c) discuss the magnitude of the force with glove on. does it seem high enough to cause damage even though it is lower than the force with no glove?
