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.

Compare the geology of Callisto, Ganymede, and Titan.
V125BC [204]

Explanation: Ganymede, Callisto, Titan are the moons of outer planets or gaseous planets which are made up of ice and rock. Callisto is an ice-covered moon and has no inner or outer activity and is considered basically geologically dead. Ganymede has rocky core and shows signs of tectonic activity, including long cracks in the crust and regions of young surface terrain. Titan has active geology of liquid hydrocarbons on the surface, rain back onto the surface and evaporation into the atmosphere. It has similar size, composition and mass to Ganymede and Callisto.

Trucks can be run on energy stored in a rotating flywheel, with an electric motor getting the flywheel up to its top speed of 20
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

The time it can operate between chargins in minutes is

t=102.8 minutes

Explanation:

Given: m=500kg, r=1.0m, w=200\pi rad/s

a). The rotational kinetic energy

K_R=\frac{1}{2}*I*w^2

I=\frac{1}{2}*m*r^2

I=\frac{1}{2}*500kg*(1.0m)^2

I=250 kg*m^2

K_R=\frac{1}{2}*250kg*m^2*(200\pi rad/s)^2

K_R=49.348x10^6J

b). The power average 0.8kW un range time can be find

P=\frac{K_R}{t'}

Solve to t'

t=\frac{K_R}{P}

t=\frac{49.348x10^6}{0.8x10^3w}=6168.5s

t=6168.5s\frac{1minute}{60s}=102.8 minutes

If you run at an average speed of 10mi/h how long will it take for you to run 2.5miles
givi [52]

Answer:

If the avg speed is 10mi/h and you want to know how long it will take to run 2.5mi/h you put that as a ratio 2.5/10 which is 1/4 of an hour so it will take 15 minutes to run 2.5 miles
