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 1430 kg car speeds up from 7.50 m/s to 11.0 m/s in 9.30 s. Ignoring friction, how much power did that require?(unit=W)PLEASE H
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed²)

Original KE = (1/2) (1430 kg) (7.5 m/s)²  =  40,218.75 joules

Final KE  =  (1/2) (1430 kg) (11.0 m/s)²  =   86,515 joules

Work done during the acceleration = (40218.75 - 86515) = 46,296.25 joules

Power = work/time = 46,296.25 joules / 9.3 sec  =  4,978.1 watts .

A). very large
B). very small
These are both wishy-washy words ... words that mean different things
to different people, and may even mean different things to the same person
at different times.
Even if everybody agreed on the meaning of these words, we wouldn't
have any idea which one may apply to the rover, because there's nothing
in the picture that gives any size reference !  We don't know from the picture
whether this thing is the size of a school book or a school bus.  Or somewhere
in between.

C). very mathematical
What in the world does this mean ? ?
I don't see a single number or math symbol anywhere in the drawing.
I don't think this is the correct choice.

D). very complex
In the drawing, there are thirteen different labels of things,
and eight of them have such long names that only their initials
are shown.
This is one complicated combination of many different machines.
I think this is the best choice of description.
