A fish maintains its depth in fresh water by adjusting the air content of porous bone or air sacs to make its average density th

e same as that of the water. Suppose that with its air sacs collapsed, a fish has a density of 1.05 g/cm3. To what fraction of its expanded body volume must the fish inflate the air sacs to reduce its density to that of water?

Answer:

V’/V= 1.05  

Explanation:

The density is defined with the ratio of the mass to the volume, for the fish with the collapsed sack

         ρ₁ = m / V

The density of the fish with the bag full of air is

         ρ₂ = m / V’

For the fish to float if it exerts its density must be exactly equal to that of the surrounding water

We clear the mass  and match

          m = ρ1 V = ρ2 V'        

          ρ₁ V = ρ₂ V’

         V ’/ V = ​​ρ₁ / ρ₂

         V ’/ V = ​​1.05 / 1

        V ’= 1.05 V

This is that the fish should increase its volume by 5%

Answer:

To calculate anything - speed, acceleration, all that - we need <em>data</em>. The more data we have, and the more accurate that data is, the more accurate our calculations will be. To collect that data, we need to <em>measure </em>it somehow. To measure anything, we need tools and a method. Speed is a measure of distance over time, so we'll need tools for measuring <em>time </em>and <em>distance</em>, and a method for measuring each.

Conveniently, the lamp posts in this problem are equally spaced, and we can treat that spacing as our measuring stick. To measure speed, we'll need to bring time in somehow too, and that's where the stopwatch comes in. A good method might go like this:

  1. Press start on the stopwatch right as you pass a lamp post
  2. Each time you pass another lamp post, press the lap button on the stopwatch
  3. Press stop after however many lamp posts you'd like, making sure to hit stop right as you pass the last lamp post
  4. Record your data
  5. Calculate the time intervals for passing each lamp post using the lap data
  6. Calculate the average of all those invervals and divide by 40 m - this will give you an approximate average speed

Of course, you'll never find an *exact* amount, but the more data points you have, the better your approximation will become.
