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 big lump of meat of mass 5Kg is hung from a spring balance in an elevator. Find the reading of the balance of (I) the elevator
Mrrafil [7]

The reading of the balance if ,

I ) If the elevator is moving with a steady speed = 50 N

II ) If the elevator is moving upwards with acceleration of 0.2 m / s² = 51 N

T = m g + m a

T = Force

m = Mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity

a = Acceleration

m = 5 kg

g = 10 m / s²

I ) If the elevator is moving with a steady speed,

At steady speed, a = 0

T = ( 5 * 10 ) + ( 5 * 0 )

T = 50 N

II ) If the elevator is moving upwards with acceleration of 0.2 m / s²,

a = 0.2 m / s²

T = ( 5 * 10 ) + ( 5 * 0.2 )

T = 50 + 1

T = 51 N

Therefore, the reading of the balance if ,

I ) If the elevator is moving with a steady speed = 50 N

II ) If the elevator is moving upwards with acceleration of 0.2 m / s² = 51 N

It has been argued that power plants should make use of off-peak hours to generate mechanical energy and store it until it is ne
sdas [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

90 rpm = 90 / 60 rps

= 1.5 rps

= 1.5 x 2π rad /s

angular velocity of flywheel

ω = 3π rad /s

Let I be the moment of inertia of flywheel

kinetic energy = (1/2) I ω²

(1/2) I ω² = 10⁷ J

I = 2 x  10⁷ / ω²

=2 x  10⁷ / (3π)²

= 2.2538 x 10⁵ kg m²

Let radius of wheel be R

I = 1/2 M R² , M is mass of flywheel

= 1/2 πR² x t x d x R² , t is thickness , d is density of wheel .

1/2 πR⁴ x t x d = 2.2538 x 10⁵

R⁴ = 2 x 2.2538 x 10⁵ / πt d

= 4.5076 x 10⁵ / 3.14 x .1 x 7800

= 184

R= 3.683 m .

diameter = 7.366 m .

b ) centripetal accn required

= ω² R

= 9π² x 3.683

= 326.816 m /s²

Some cities now implement signal lights designed to specifically apply to _____ rather than motorized vehicles.
dmitriy555 [2]

The correct answer is C; Bicycles.

Further Explanation:

In major cities, in the United States, have implemented signal lights specifically designed for bicycle riders. The riders also have their own designated bike lanes in many large cities. Drivers in vehicles, are to give the right of way to people on bicycles.

Bicycle riders are to follow the same laws and laws specifically for the riders or they can face fines and tickets.

A Neglecting air resistance, a ball projected straight upward so it remains in the air for 10 seconds needs an initial speed of
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The initial velocity is 50 m/s.

(C) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Time = 10 sec

For first half,

We need to calculate the height

Using equation of motion

v^2=u^2+2gh

h =\dfrac{v^2}{2g}....(I)

For second half,

We need to calculate the time

Using equation of motion

h =ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt_{2}^2

h=0+\dfrac{1}{2}gt_{2}^2

t_{2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g}}

Put the value of h from equation (I)

t_{2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times v^2}{g^2}}

t_{2}=\dfrac{v}{g}

According to question,

t_{1}+t_{2}=10

t_{1}=t_{2}

Put the value of t₁ and t₂

\dfrac{v}{g}+\dfrac{v}{g}=10

\dfrac{2v}{g}=10

v=\dfrac{10\times g}{2}

Here, g = 10

The initial velocity is

v=\dfrac{10\times10}{2}

v=50\ m/s

Hence, The initial velocity is 50 m/s.

Answer:

The value is  C = 30729\  c

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The power rating of the stove is  P = 4.4 KW  = 4.4 *10^{3} \  W

   The duration of its use everyday is t_1  = 70 \ minutes  = 1.167 \ hours    

    The rating of the light bulbs is P_2'  = 150 W

   The number is n = 7

   The power rating of the total  bulb is  P_2 = 7 * 150 = 1050 \  W

    The duration of its use everyday is  t_2  = 7 hours

    The power rating of miscellaneous appliance P_3 = 1.8 \ KW = 1.8 *10^{3} \  W

    The duration of its use everyday is t_3 = 1 hour

     The power rating of hot water P = 4 KW  = 4 *10^{3} \  W

      The duration of its use everyday is t_4 = 120 \ minutes  = 2 hours

Generally the total electrical energy used in 1 month is mathematically represented as

    E = P_1 * t_1 * 30 + P_2 * t_2 * 30 + P_3 * t_3 * 30+ P_4 * t_4 * 30

=>  E = 4.4*10^{3} * 1.167  * 30 + 1050 * 7 * 30 + 1.8 *1 * 30+ 4*10^{3} * 2 * 30

=>  E = 614598  \ W \cdot h

=>   E = 614.6  \  K W \cdot h

Generally the monthly electricity  bill is mathematically represented as

    C = 614.6 * 50

=> C = 30729\  c
