If a scuba diver fills his lungs to full capacity of 5.5 L when 10 m below the surface, to what volume would his lungs expand if

he quickly rose to the surface? Assume, the temperature of the air inside the lungs remains costant. Density of sea water is 1025 kg/m3.

Answer:

10.95 L

Explanation:

Let the pressure at depth 10 m is P1.

V1 = 5.5 L

P1 = Po + h x d x g

P2 is the pressure at the surface

P2 = Po

where, Po be the atmospheric pressure  = 1.01 x 10^5 Pa

Let V2 be the volume at the surface.

Use P1 x V1 = P2 x V2

(Po + 10 x 1025 x 9.8) x 5.5 = Po x V2

(1.01 x 10^5 + 1 x 10^5) x 5.5 = 1.01 x 10^5 x V2

2.01 x 5.5 = 1.01 x V2

V2 = 10.95 L

Answer:

The volume at the surface is 10.97 L.

Explanation:

Given that,

Volume = 5.5 L

Height = 10 m

Density of sea water= 1025 kg/m³

We need to calculate the pressure at that point

Using formula of pressure

P'=P+\rho gh

Put the value into the formula

P'=1.01\times10^{5}+1025\times9.8\times10

P'=201450\ Pa

We need to calculate the volume at the surface

Using equation of ideal gas

PV= RT

So, for both condition

PV=P'V'

Put the value into the formula

V=\dfrac{201450\times5.5}{1.01\times10^{5}}

V=10.97\ L

Hence, The volume at the surface is 10.97 L.

If an automobile had a 100%-efficient engine, transferring all of the fuel's energy to work, would the engine be warm to your to
svetlana [45]

Answer:

The engine would be warm to touch, and the exhaust gases would be at ambient temperature. The engine would not vibrate nor make any noise. None of the fuel entering the engine would go unused.

Explanation:

In this ideal engine, none of these events would happen due to the nature of the efficiency.

We can define efficiency as the ratio between the used energy and the potential generable energy in the fuel.

n=W, total/(E, available).

However, in real engines the energy generated in the combustion of the fuel transforms into heat (which heates the exhost gases, and the engine therefore transfering some of this heat to the environment). Also, there are some mechanical energy loss due to vibrations and sound, which are also energy that comes from the fuel combustion.

Marina is staring at an optical illusion where he sees a version of the American flag that is colored green, yellow, and black.
k0ka [10]

Explanation:

The reason why Marina sees the colour red, white and blue or the original colour of the American flag is that because of a phenomenon known as Afterimage. The retina in our eyes have mainly three receptors that are colour sensitive known as cones. These receptors can perceive the colour green, red and blue. Now when we look or stare at a particular colour for a long time, what happen is that our retina becomes tired and they ignore the colours that stared at. And now they work to form other colours at the retina just like the way when we produce other colour from the primary colour.

If the red receptor gets exhausted we will see the colour red. Likewise when we see the colour orange when we stare at the colour blue.

This explains the optical illusion of the American flag.
