Typically, when a person coughs, he or she first inhales about 2.20 L of air at 1.00 atm and 25 ∘ C . The epiglottis and the voc

al cords then shut, trapping the air in the lungs, where it is warmed to 37 ∘ C and compressed to a volume of about 1.70 L by the action of the diaphragm and chest muscles. The sudden opening of the epiglottis and vocal cords releases this air explosively. Just prior to this release, what is the approximate pressure of the gas inside the lungs?

Answer:

pressure of the gas inside the lungs will be =1.35 atm

Explanation:

so for calculation of pressure of gas we will use the formula

(remember to convert *C to kelvin)

PV₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂           As we know that Temperature = 310.5 k =37 degree

so for pressure P₂

P₂=P₁V₁T₂/T₁V₂

= ((1.00atm)(2.20L)(310.15K))/ ((298.15K) (1.70L)

=1.35 atm

(remember to convert *C to kelvin)

Your town is planning on implementing a new wastewater reclamation plant (a connected wastewater plant and water treatment plant
Mazyrski [523]

The reasons why the wastewater reclamation plant will be implemented are the well-being of the environment, as well as making the water suitable for usage for the people. By installing the plant, the wastewater will be cleaned in most part. That will mean that the water can be returned to the nature without it causing damage to it and polluting it, but instead contributing to its well-being and proper functioning. Also, part of the water will be used for irrigation, as flushing water in the toilets, for doing laundry, which will result in preserving the freshwater reserves while still having a source of water for certain needs. The fact that the water will be cleaned, also means that the local water bodies will be safe to use for recreation, as they will not be polluted.

Briefly explain how the red shift light, cosmic microwave background radiation and
loris [4]

Answer:

The Doppler red-shift of light observed from distant stars and galaxies gives evidence that the universe is expanding (moving away from a central point). This allows for Big Bang Theory, because after a “bang” occurs all of the matter moves away from the point of origin.
