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

Two cars leave towns 680 kilometers apart at the same time and travel toward each other. one car's rate is 10 kilometers per hou
Evgen [1.6K]

D = distance between the cars at the start of time = 680 km

v₁ = speed of one car

v₂ = speed of other car = v₁ - 10

t = time taken to meet = 4 h

distance traveled by one car in time "t" + distance traveled by other car in time "t" = D

v₁ t + v₂ t = D

(v₁ + v₂) t = D

inserting the values

(v₁ + v₁ - 10) (4) = 680

v₁ = 90 km/h

rate of slower car is given as

v₂ = v₁ - 10

v₂ = 90 - 10 = 80 km/h

I. part of a coal-fired power plant

II. part of a nuclear power plant

III. part of a coal-fired power plant and part of a nuclear power plant

a.) Boiler : I

b.) Combustion chamber: I

c.) Condenser: I

d.) Control rod: II

e.) Generator: III

f.) Turbine: III

Toward the end processes part of both coal fire and nuclear power, they both make use of turbine and generator to generate electricity.

Kobotan [32]

Wildlife researcher starts from a and then reaches b, he turns towards north 40 degree to move towards c.

Total displacement is ac

Total horizontal displacement = 4+4 cos40 =7.06 km

Total vertical displacement = 4 sin40 =2.57 km

Total displacement = \sqrt{7.06^2+2.57^2} = 7.51 km
