As SCUBA divers go deeper underwater, the pressure from the weight of all the water above them increases tremendously which comp

resses the gases in their blood. What happens to the volume of gas in their blood as the diver rises quickly to the surface?

Answer:  The volume of gas expands because of the decrease in pressure as he tries to exit the water body, therefore he must take necessary precaution.

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law which states that the  the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature

ie P1VI=P2V2

A diver absorbs compressed nitrogen gas when  he dives into the water body, As he ascends  out of the water body having less pressure, the volume of nitrogen gas which he absorbs will tend to expand following  Boyle's Law.  Therefore a scuba driver should not rises quickly but slowly  to the surface or else the  expanding nitrogen gas can cause tiny bubbles in his blood and tissue to form together with joints pains and eventually  cause decompression sickness needing medical attention.

A golf club hits a stationary 0.05kg golf ball with and average force of 5.0 x 10^3 newtons accelerating the ball at 44 meters p
maxonik [38]

Answer: The magnitude of impulse imparted to the ball by the golf club is 2.2 N seconds

Explanation:

Force applied on the golf ball = 5.0\times 10^3 N

Mass of the ball = 0.05 kg

Velocity with which ball is accelerating = 44 m/s

Time period over which forece applied = t

f=ma=\frac{m\times v}{t}

t=\frac{0.05 kg\times 44m/s}{5.0\times 10^3 N}=4.4\times 10^{-4} seconds

Impulse=(force)\times (time)=f\times t = 5.0\times 10^3\times 4.4\times 10^{-4} seconds=2.2 Newton seconds

The magnitude of impulse imparted to the ball by the golf club is 2.2 N seconds

A crate is placed on an adjustable, incline board. the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the board is 0.29.
sasho [114]

Let the angle be Θ (theta)

Let the mass of the crate be m.

a) When the crate just begins to slip. At that moment the net force will be equal to zero and the static friction will be at the maximum vale.

Normal force (N) = mg CosΘ

μ (coefficient of static friction) = 0.29

Static friction = μN = μmg CosΘ

Now, along the ramp, the equation of net force will be:

mg SinΘ - μmg CosΘ = 0

mg SinΘ = μmg CosΘ

tan Θ = μ

tan Θ = 0.29

Θ = 16.17°

b) Let the acceleration be a.

Coefficient of kinetic friction = μ = 0.26

Now, the equation of net force will be:

mg sinΘ - μ mg CosΘ = ma

a = g SinΘ - μg CosΘ

Plugging the values

a = 9.8 × 0.278 - 0.26 × 9.8 × 0.96

a = 2.7244 - 2.44608

a = 0.278 m/s^2

Hence, the acceleration is 0.278 m/s^2

A spherically-spreading EM wave comes from a 104.0 W source. At a distance of 9.6 m, what is the intensity of the wave?
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Approximately 0.0898 W/m².

Explanation:

The intensity of light measures the power that the light delivers per unit area.

The source in this question delivers a constant power of \rm 104.0\; W. If the source here is a point source, that \rm 104.0\; W of power will be spread out evenly over a spherical surface that is centered at the point source. In this case, the radius of the surface will be 9.6 meters.

The surface area of a sphere of radius r is equal to 4\pi r^{2}. For the imaginary 9.6-meter sphere here, the surface area will be:

\rm 4\pi \times (9.6\; m)^{2} \approx 1158.12\; m^{2}.

That \rm 104.0\; W power is spread out evenly over this 9.6-meter sphere. The power delivered per unit area will be:

\displaystyle\rm  \frac{104.0\; W}{1158.12\; m^{2}}\approx 0.0898\; W\cdot m^{-2}.

A parked car's horn (belonging to a musician) emits a concert A of frequency 440 on a day when the speed of sound is 342 m/s. Yo
julsineya [31]

Answer:

19.08 m/s

Explanation:

f = actual frequency emitted by the parked car's horn = 440 Hz

V = speed of sound = 342 m/s

f' = frequency of the horn observed by you = 466 Hz

v = speed of your car moving towards the parked car = ?

frequency of the horn observed by you is given as

f' = \frac{Vf}{V - v}

466 = \frac{(342)(440)}{342 - v}

v = 19.08 m/s
