thanks for all your time and help

So as far as I'm concerned, gas volume = container volume? :D

Couldn't other variables other than pressure have an impact on the calculated volume of the gas, like the number of moles? thx

I've been told that gases take on the volume of whatever container they're in but what about Pv=Nrt ? Would it be possible that the calculated V is smaller than the container's volume? Thanks

thanks for your reply! What if the force was instantaneous? Would it still not affect the speed?

Homework Statement There's a ball moving at a constant velocity V and I apply a force perpendicular to the direction of the velocity. Why is it that there's no change in speed? If I add a perpendicular force, there would be a new vector thus resulting in a new velocity with a different...

thx for your help

it expands?

it's an airtight container, and the size does not change when the gas is removed.

A container has a capacity of V with X mass of gas in it. I take away half of the gas leaving 0.5 X mass left. What is the volume of the remaining gas?
