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.

Which statements describe velocity and acceleration? Check all that apply.
Tom [10]

Velocity is defined by rate of change in the position

which we can also write as

v = \frac{ds}{dt}

while acceleration is defined as rate of change in velocity

a = \frac{dv}{dt}

so acceleration and velocity both are rate of change in position and rate of change in velocity with respect to time respectively

out of all above statement the correct answer must be

<u>Acceleration equals change in velocity divided by time. </u>

A strand of 10 lights is plugged into a outlet. How can you determine if the lights are connected in series or parrel
NeTakaya

Answer:

C) Unscrew one light. If the other lights turn off, it's a series circuit.

Explanation:

THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW;

A strand of 10 lights is plugged into an outlet. How can you determine if the lights are connected in series or parallel? A) Unscrew one light. If the other lights stay on, it's a series circuit. B) Unplug the strand. If the first light stays on, it's a series circuit. C) Unscrew one light. If the other lights turn off, it's a series circuit. D) Cut the strand in half. If the plugged in half stays on, it's a series circuit.

SERIES CIRCUIT

In this circuit, the components there are in the same path, the entire circuit has the same current, each of the components posses different voltage drop. Hence, failure of one components to work, there will be break in entire circuit then other components cease to work.

PARALLEL CIRCUIT

This circuit has equal voltage drop across all the components, any problem in a component will not has effect on other components.

Therefore, if one want to determine if a light connection is in series or in parallel, one of the light can be unplugged if others stop working it means it's series, if other works it's parallel.

Shareen finds that when she drives her motorboat upstream she can travelwith a speed of only 8 m/s, while she moves with a speed
ANEK [815]

Let vb be the velocity of the motorboat and let vs be the velocity of the stream.

We know that when she drives upstream the velocity is 8 m/s, in this scenario the velocities point in opposite directions, then we have the equations:

v_b-v_s=8

When she drives downstream the velocites point in the same direction then we have the equation:

v_b+v_s=12

hence we have the system of equations:

\begin{gathered} v_b-v_s=8 \\ v_b+v_s=12 \end{gathered}

Solving the first equation for the velocity of the boat we have:

v_b=8+v_s

Plugging this in the second equation we have:

\begin{gathered} 8+v_s+v_s=12 \\ 2v_s=4 \\ v_s=\frac{4}{2} \\ v_s=2 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the velocity of the stream is 2 m/s

A basketball player of height 2.40 m is standing 2.60 m in front of a convex spherical mirror of radius of curvature 4.00 m. Det
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The size of the image is 1.04 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of object = 2.40 m

Distance of object = 2.60 m

Radius of curvature =4.00 m

Focal length f=\dfrac{R}{2}=\dfrac{4.00}{2}=2.00

We need to calculate the image distance

Using mirror formula

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}+\dfrac{1}{u}

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{2.00}+\dfrac{1}{2.60}

\dfrac{1}{v}= \dfrac{23}{26}

v=1.13\ cm

We need to calculate the height of the image

Using formula of magnification

m=\dfrac{h'}{h}=-\dfrac{v}{u}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{h'}{2.40}=-\dfrac{1.13}{-2.60}

h'=\dfrac{1.13}{2.60}\times2.40

h'=1.04\ m

Hence, The size of the image is 1.04 m
