Investigating the Effect of Temperature on the Volume of a Gas Aim: To investigate the effect of temperature on the volume of a gas, given that the pressure acting on the gas is fixed. Hypothesis: According to CharlesÂ’s Law, the volume of a given amount of gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature when the pressure is constant. Thus, it is expected that as the temperature of the gas increases, its volume will increase also at a constant rate. When the temperature is increased

European feudalism was based on contract and Japanese feudalism was based on personal relationship with the lord and vassal. This helps prove that the differences between European and Japanese feudalism made limited government more likely to develop in the West because a contract limits what the lords and vassals could do.

serve their lord. A knight’s career is chosen for him, his wife is chosen for him and the land that his family lives on could be taken from him without a moment’s notice.

being exiled, men were forced to travel the barren world alone in hopes of finding a new lord under whom they could serve.

Until successfully locating a new mead hall and fellow companions, these loners were forced to look to themselves for comfort, or if they were lucky enough to realize it, the Lord. Not every exiled kinsmen was spiritual enough to grasp the realization that Christ
