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.

To demonstrate the tremendous acceleration of a top fuel dragracer, you attempt to run your car into the back of a dragster that
noname [10]

Answer:

a. 2v₀/a   b. 2v₀/a  

Explanation:

a. Since you are moving with a constant velocity v₀, the distance, s you cover in time = t max is s = v₀t.

Since the dragster starts from rest with an acceleration, a, using

s' = ut + 1/2at² where u = 0 and s' = distance moved by dragster

s' = 0t + 1/2at²

s' = 1/2at²

Since the distance moved by me and the dragster must be the same,

s = s'

v₀t. =  1/2at²

v₀t. - 1/2at² = 0

t(v₀ - 1/2at) = 0

t= 0 or v₀ - 1/2at = 0

t= 0 or v₀ = 1/2at

t= 0 or t = 2v₀/a  

So the maximum time tmax = 2v₀/a

b. Since the distance covered by me to meet the dragster is s = v₀t in time, t = tmax which is also my distance from the dragster when it started. So, my distance from the dragster when it started is s =  v₀(2v₀/a)

= 2v₀/a

How do you calculate resistance with coulombs, time and J's?
Mars2501 [29]
Hey user


The energy E in joules (J) is equal to the voltage V in volts (V), times the electrical charge Q in coulombs (C):

E(J) = V(V) ×<span> Q</span>(C)

So

joule = volt × coulomb

or

J = V × C

Example

What is the energy in joules that is consumed in an electrical circuit with voltage supply of 15V and charge flow of 4 coulombs?

E = 15V × 4C = 60J

1. The illuminance on a surface is 6 lux and the surface is 4 meters from the light source. What is the intensity of the source?
Crank

<u>Answer</u>

1) A. 96 Candelas

2) A. Both of these types of lenses have the ability to produce upright images.

3) C. 5 meters


<u>Explanation</u>

Q1

The formula for calculation the luminous intensity is;

Luminous intensity = illuminance × square radius

Lv = Ev × r²

= 6 × 4²

= 6 × 16

= 96 Candelabra

Q2

For converging lenses, an upright image is formed when the object is between the lens and the principal focus while a diverging lens always forms and upright image.

A. Both of these types of lenses have the ability to produce upright images.

Q3

Luminous intensity = illuminance × square radius

square radius = Luminous intensity/ illuminance

r² = 100/4

= 25

r = √25

= 5 m

While in empty space, an astronaut throws a ball at a velocity of 11 m/s. what will the velocity of the ball be after it has tra
Aliun [14]
In empty space probably means, there is no force on the ball.

(This assumption is not quite correct since there is still the force of gravity between the ball and the astronaut, but this force is very very small and can be neglected.)

Assuming there is no force on the ball, Newtown's 1st law says: When viewed in an internal frame of reference, an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a force.
 
This means:
If there is no force on the ball, there will be no acceleration on the ball either.
If the acceleration is zero, the velocity of the ball never changes.
