Snorkeling by humans and elephants. When a person snorkels, the lungs are connected directly to the atmosphere through the snork

el tube and thus are at atmospheric pressure. In atmospheres, what is the difference Δp between this internal air pressure and the water pressure against the body if the length of the snorkel tube is
(a)24 cm (standard situation) and



(b)4.1 m (probably lethal situation)?

Answer:

2354.4 Pa

40221 Pa

Explanation:

\rho = Density = 1000 kg/m³

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = Depth

The pressure difference would be

\Delta P=\rho gh\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=1000\times 0.24\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=2354.4\ Pa

The pressure difference in the first case is 2354.4 Pa

\Delta P=\rho gh\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=1000\times 4.1\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=40221\ Pa

The pressure difference in the second case is 40221 Pa

What makes output energy less than input energy?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

part of input energy is wasted

it is used to increase the entropy of the surrounding

therefore the useful energy output is necessarily smaller than the energy input

in other words the efficiency of heat engine is always less than hundred percent

A Ping-Pong ball is given an upward initial velocity. The force of air resistance causes the times of ascent and descent to be u
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Time of ascent is greater than time of descent.

Explanation:

The gravitational force always acts in the downward direction. The air drag always opposes the motion.

During ascent, the gravitational force and air drag act in opposite direction to the motion where as during descent, only air drag acts in opposite direction to the motion of the ball while gravitational force acts in the same direction. Thus, the time of ascent and descent become unequal with time of ascent being greater than time of descent.
