High School Air tank PSI and cubic feet calculation help please

Click For Summary
To determine the volume of air at 100 psi in a 1 cubic foot tank pressurized to 5000 psi, the ideal gas law can be applied. The relationship between pressure and volume indicates that as pressure increases, the volume of gas decreases proportionally. At 5000 psi, the tank contains significantly more air than it would at 100 psi due to compression. Calculating the exact volume at 100 psi requires converting the pressures into a common unit and applying the formula for gas laws. Understanding these principles is essential for accurate air tank calculations.

If I have a air tank that is 1 cubic feet with the pressure gauge at 0 and I pump in air to 5000 psi how many cubic feet of a 100 psi would be in that tank? Any help would be appreciated

Thread 'Reference frames, center of rotation, etc'

Topic about reference frames, center of rotation, postion of origin etc Comoving ref. frame is frame that is attached to moving object, does that mean, in that frame translation and rotation of object is zero, because origin and axes(x,y,z) are fixed to object? Is it same if you place origin of frame at object center of mass or at object tail? What type of comoving frame exist? What is lab frame? If we talk about center of rotation do we always need to specified from what frame we observe?
