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.

Two lightweight rods 24 cm in length are mounted perpendicular to an axle and at 180 ∘ to each other. At the end of each rod is
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Angular momentum ( L ) = moment of inertia x angular velocity ( I X ω )

Moment of inertia of two  480 g masses about axle = 2 x mr²  = 2 x 480 x10⁻³ x( 24 x 10 ⁻ 2 )²  = 0. 552960  kg m².

Angular velocity = 5 rad / s.

Angular momentum = 0.552960 x 5 = 2.765 kg m2.

The direction of angular momentum will be along axle.So vector angular

momentum  makes zero degree  with axle.

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Not enough information.

IF we ASSUME she wants the car to be at LAUNCH LEVEL after 1 second of flight.

THEN

The highest point will have zero vertical velocity and will have taken ½ second to get there. This means that the initial vertical velocity was

v = gt

vy₀ = 9.8(0.5)

vy₀ = 4.9 m/s

vsinθ = vy₀

v = vy₀/sinθ

v = 4.9/sin32

v = 9.2466...

v = 9.2 m/s

What happens in terms of energy when a moving car hits a parked car, causing the parked car to move?
meriva
This is an example Newton's Third Law. All the kinectic energy from the moving car transferred the potential energy of the parked car. This potential is not much since the brakes are on (hopefully) and it's not in a non-moving position.

If you were capable of converting mass to energy with 100%, efficiency, how much mass would you need to produce 3.5x10^12 Joules
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

a) 3.9 x 10⁻⁵ kg

Explanation:

The amount of mass required to produce the energy can be given by Einstein's formula:

E = mc^2\\\\m = \frac{E}{c^2}

where,

m = mass required = ?

E = Energy produced = 3.5 x 10¹² J

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore,

m = \frac{3.5\ x\ 10^{12}\ J}{(3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s)^2} \\\\m = 3.9\ x\ 10^{-5}\ kg

Hence, the correct option is:

<u>a) 3.9 x 10⁻⁵ kg</u>
