Pressure between the inside chest wall and the outside of the lungs normally remains negative. Explain how pressure inside the l

ungs can become positive (to cause exhalation) without muscle action.

STatiana [176]4 years ago

Answer:

by doing rapid shallow breathing and pursed lip breathing  

Explanation:

Pressure with in the chest wall and the outside of the lungs remains negative because the intrapleural pressure is always lesser than the intra-alveolar pressure or atmospheric pressure. In general forced expiration leads to an increasing positive pressure in pleura. This happens because the pleura airway gets compressed and the size of airway reduces thereby forcing expiration.  

People who are able to resist airway can increase airflow by doing rapid shallow breathing and pursed lip breathing

Which describe the image formed by an object on the center of curvature? Check all that apply.
9966 [12]

The image formed by a concave  mirror with the object placed at the center of curvature is real inverted and formed at the center of curvature. Using the ray diagram a ray from the top of the object to the mirror through f then reflected parallel to the principal axis,then the ray through the center of curvature reflected through the same point both intersect at a plane through center curvature and perpendicular  to the principal axis. The point of intersection forms the top of the image and the center of curvature forms the bottom. Therefore, the correct choices are : real and inverted

Contact lenses are designed to be gas permeable in order to allow oxygen to diffuse to the eye. If the edge of a contact lens is
guapka [62]

Answer: A

The diffusion time through the edge is double the diffusion time through the center.

Explanation:

Only the diffusion coefficient, thickness, surface area, distance affects the time it takes a gas such as oxygen to diffuse a given in a medium. The Diffusion time increases with the square of diffusion distance  Also, the Increased surface area increases the rate of diffusion or the diffusion time, whereas a thicker membrane reduces the rate of diffusion or time it takes the gas to be permeable. Also, The greater the distance that a substance must travel, the slower the rate of diffusion The diffusion coefficient determines the time it takes a gas to diffuse. Also the Diffusion time is inversely proportional to the diffusion coefficient.

Now, If the edge of a contact lens is double the thickness of the central portion of the lens, then it will take more time for the gas to diffuse through the thicker portion. since its edge is double the central position, then the diffusion time will also be doubled. So Option A is the best answer-

The diffusion time through the edge is double the diffusion time through the center.

Why does Mercury have so little gas in its atmosphere? Choose one or more: A. Its escape velocity is low. B. It has a high tempe
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Option A, B, C and D

Explanation:

First to all, we need to remember something. Mercury is the first planet to our solar system, therefore, it's the closest planet to the sun. Because of this, temperatures of that planet are way too high.

Mercury has a very thin atmosphere so it barely exists. It also has a low gravity and receives large gusts of solar winds from the Sun, that's why it has high temperature, and therefore, it's escape velocity is very low too.

Of course, it's one of the smallest planets in our solar system, so,the atmosphere of Mercury is unstable and constantly shifting. As the atmosphere’s materials are being made, they are also being taken away at the uppermost layers due to solar winds. The composition of the atmosphere can also change as you move across the planet.

Why is it difficult to use the law of conservation of energy to calculate the
Liula [17]

Answer:

Inelastic collisions actually do conserve energy, but the loss of energy to heat and mechanical vibration is hard to calculate so the math equating energy before and energy after is hard to balance.
