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

You want to photograph a circular diffraction pattern whose central maximum has a diameter of 1.0 cm. You have a helium-neon las
topjm [15]

Answer:

0.776 m far Pinhole should be placed before the viewing screen

Explanation:

For circular aperture of diameter D will have a bright central maximum of diameter, width is given by

w=\frac{2.44 \lambda L}{D}

where \lambda is wavelength of helium neon laser = 633 nm, D=10.cm, w=0.12 mm

Pinhole should be placed before the viewing screen is

L=\frac{wD}{2.44\lambda}\\L=\frac{0.12\times 10^{-3}\times 0 .01}{2.44\times 633 \times 10^{-9}}\\L=0.776 m

A person can see clearly up close but cannot focus on objects beyond 75.0 cm. She opts for contact lenses to correct her vision.
Pavel [41]

Answer:

(a) nearsighted

(b) diverging

(c) the lens strength in diopters is 1.33 D, and considering the convention for divergent lenses normally prescribed as: -1 33 D

Explanation:

(a) The person is nearsighted because he/she cannot see objects at distances larger than 75 cm.

(b) the type of correcting lens has to be such that it counteracts the excessive converging power of the eye of the person, so the lens has to be diverging (which by the way carries by convention a negative focal length)

(c) the absolute value of the focal length (f) is given by the formula:

f=\frac{1}{d} =\frac{1}{0.75} = 1.33\,D

So it would normally be written with a negative signs in front indicating a divergent lens.

What is the purpose of the background research step of the scientific method?
Lilit [14]
Background research is used to familiarize yourself with the topic or problem you're conducting your experiment on and help you form an educated guess explaining or solving it that will become your hypothesis.
