Air that enters the pleural space during inspiration but is unable to exit during expiration creates a condition called Pneumothorax.

<h3>What is Pneumothorax?</h3>

An abnormal buildup of air in the pleural space between the lung and the chest wall is known as a pneumothorax. Shortness of breath and quick, acute, one-sided chest discomfort are common symptoms .  A tension pneumothorax happens when an area of injured tissue forms a one-way valve, increasing the amount of air in the gap between the chest wall and the lungs.  As a result, there may be an oxygen deficiency that worsens with time and low blood pressure. Obstructive shock is a type of shock that results from this and can be lethal if left untreated.  A pneumothorax can very infrequently affect both lungs.  Although the term "collapsed lung" can also refer to atelectasis, it is frequently used to describe it.

Whats the defenition of heat ?
Morgarella [4.7K]
Heat in Physics is an energy that is in a process of transfer between a system and its surroundings other than the transfer of matter. In  Thermodynamics,  a science that deals with the study of heat and temperature and their relationship to energy and work, finer details of the process is unpredictable. Heat flows from a hotter to a colder body when there is a physical pathway. This pathway is suitable and can be direct such as radiation and conduction. It can also be indirect as in convective circulation.

While alive, an organism absorbs (radioactive) carbon 14 at such a rate that the proportion of carbon 14 in the organism remains
Inga [223]

Answer:

The person has been dead for approximately 15,300 years

Explanation:

<u>Available data</u>:

  • The half-life of carbon 14 is 5,600 years
  • The human skeleton level of carbon 14 is 15% that of a living human

To answer this question we can make use of the following equation

Ln (C14T₁/C14 T₀) = - λ T₁

Where,

  • C14 T₀ ⇒ Amount of carbon in a living body at time 0 = 100%
  • C14T₁ ⇒ Amount of carbon in the dead body at time 1 = 15%
  • λ ⇒ radioactive decay constant = (Ln2)/T₀,₅
  • T₀,₅ ⇒ The half-life of carbon 14 = 5600 years
  • T₀ = 0
  • T₁ = ???

Let us first calculate the radioactive decay constant.

λ = (Ln2)/T₀,₅

λ = 0.693/5600

λ = 0.000123

Now, let us calculate the first term in the equation

Ln (C14T₁/C14 T₀) = Ln (15%/100%) = Ln 0.15 = - 1.89

Finally, let us replace the terms, clear the equation, and calculate the value of T₁.

Ln (C14T₁/C14 T₀) = - λ T₁

- 1.89 = - 0.000123 x T₁

T₁ = - 1.89 / - 0.000123

T₁ = 15,365 years

The person has been dead for approximately 15,300 years
