Physics

Answer:

Random motion

Explanation:

If the boy throws the basketball forward while at a position on the skateboard, the motion of the ball will be a random motion since we are not told if the ball is moving on a straight line when thrown forward.

In this case, the boy will tend to move in the direction of the ball. Since the ball is moving in a random manner, the motion of the boy will also be a random motion.

A random motion is a motion of a body in a zig zag manner. It is also known as Brownian motion e.g motion of a buzzing mosquito, motion of a smoke coming out of a chimney etc.

a bubble of air of volume 1cm^3 is released by a deep sea diver at a depth where the pressure is 4.0 atmospheres. assuming its t
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

hope this helps!

Explanation:

Volume of the air bubble, V1=1.0cm3=1.0×10−6m3

Bubble rises to height, d=40m

Temperature at a depth of 40 m, T1=12oC=285K

Temperature at the surface of the lake, T2=35oC=308K

The pressure on the surface of the lake: P2=1atm=1×1.103×105Pa 

The pressure at the depth of 40 m: P1=1atm+dρg

Where,

ρ is the density of water =103kg/m3

g is the acceleration due to gravity =9.8m/s2

∴P1=1.103×105+40×103×9.8=493300Pa

We have T1P1V1=T2P2V2

Where, V2 is the volume of the air bubble when it reaches the surface.

V2=
