Answer:

Air embolism

Explanation:

  • When bubbles of air or any other gas cause a blockage of blood vessels in the circulatory system then this is known as air embolism.
  • There are several symptoms that are associated with this condition such as loss of consciousness, difficulty in breathing, bloody sputum, tremors, convulsions, etc.
  • Since in the given condition, the diver is having frothy blood in his mouth and since he ascended rapidly calling for help he is most likely to be suffering from an air embolism.

1. A rock sample has a mass of 16 grams:
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

(3) 4 cm' and 2.0 g/cm3

Explanation:

Given:

volume= V= 8 cm³

mass= m= 16 g

The density is the mass per volume of a substance, so the density of the rock is:

density= d= 16 g/8 cm³= 2 g/cm³

When we cut the rock in half, we have a half volume and a half mass:

V= 8 cm³/2= 4 cm³

m= 16 g/2= 8 g

But the density is not altered because it is an intrisic property - it does not change with the amount of subtance. Thus, the density of a half rock is:

d = m/V= 8 g/4 cm³= 2 g/cm³
