Poverty imposes far-reaching hardships, not only on the poor but on all who share their communities. Virginia has a relatively low poverty rate -- it was again ranked 9th in the nation in 2013 â but it, too, has been affected by recent trends, with more than 1 in 10 residents now living below federal poverty thresholds. Virginia continues to work to make education and opportunity available to its at-risk populations.
Boyle's Law: The Pressure-Volume Law. Boyle's law or the pressure-volume law states that the volume of a given amount of gas held at constant temperature varies inversely with the applied pressure when the temperature and mass are constant. PV = C. When pressure goes up, volume goes down. When volume goes up, pressure goes down.
Boyleâs law describes how the volume of a gas changes as the pressure is changed. Boyleâs law: For a ï¬ xed amount of gas at constant temperature, the pressure and volume. of a gas are inversely related. When two quantities are inversely related, one quantity increases as the other decreases.
