Snorkelers breathe through tubes that extend above the surface of the water. In prin- ciple, a snorkeler could go deeper with a

longer tube, but the extra pressure at the greater depth would make breathing too difficult. If a snorkeler can develop a pressure in her lungs that is 10 kPa below the pressure outside her body, what is the longest snorkel she could use in the ocean?

Answer:

h = 1.02 m

Explanation:

This is a fluid mechanics exercise, where the pressure is given by

       P = P_{atm} + ρ g h

The gauge pressure is

      P - P_{atm}  = ρ g h

In this case the upper part of the tube we have the atmospheric pressure. and the diver can exert a pressure 10 KPa below the outside pressure, this must be the gauge pressure

     P_{m} =    P - P_{atm}

     P_{m} = ρ g h

     h =P_{m} / ρ g

calculate

     h = 10 103 / (1000 9.8)

     h = 1.02 m

This is the depth at which man can breathe

A radar gun can determine the speed of a moving automobile by measuring the difference in frequency between emitted and reflecte
kupik [55]

Answer:

Doppler effect.

Explanation:

The velocity of the moving car affects the wavelengths of the reflecting  radio waves according to the principle of Doppler effect. Therefore, for a car moving away from the radar gun, the wavelength of the radio waves is increased, and for a car moving towards the gun, the wavelength is decreased. The degree of increase or decreases depends on the speed of the car, so if you know how much a wavelength has changed, you know the velocity of the car.

What process provides the sun with its energy
Molodets [167]

Answer:

nuclear fusion

<h3>The sun generates energy from a process called nuclear fusion. During nuclear fusion, the high pressure and temperature in the sun's core cause nuclei to separate from their electrons. Hydrogen nuclei fuse to form one helium atom. During the fusion process, radiant energy is released.</h3>
