When air expands adiabatically (without gaining or losing heat), its pressure and volume are related by the equation where is a constant. Suppose that at a certain instant the volume is cubic centimeters and the pressure is kPa and is decreasing at a rate of kPa/minute. At what rate in cubic centimeters per minute is the volume increasing at this instant?
Answer:
Note:
Pa
stands for Pascal. One
Pa
is equivalent to one .
kPa
is a kiloPascal or 1000 Pascals.
