Anyone who scuba dives is advised not to fly within the next 24 h because the air mixture for diving can introduce nitrogen into

the bloodstream. Without allowing the nitrogen to come out of solution slowly, any sudden air-pressure reduction (such as during airplane ascent) can result in the nitrogen forming bubbles in the blood, creating the bends, which can be painful and even fatal. Military special operation forces are especially at risk. What is the change in pressure on such a special-op soldier who must scuba dive at a depth of 16 m in seawater one day and parachute at an altitude of 8.1 km the next day? Assume that the average air density within the altitude range is 0.87 kg/m3.

Answer:

Explanation:

Let pressure at surface of earth be P Pa.  

pressure at height of 8.1 km in air can be calculated as follows .

pressure due to column of air of 8.1 km height

= h d g , h is height , d is density of air and g is acceleration due to gravity

= 8.1 x 1000 x .87 x 9.8 = 6.9 x 10⁴ Pa .

pressure at the height of 8.1 km

= P - 6.9 x 10⁴ Pa

Pressure due to  column  of 16 m in the sea

= h d g

16 x 1000 x 9.8

= 15.68 x 10⁴ Pa .

Pressure at depth of 16m

= P + 15.68 x 10⁴

pressure difference between points at height of 8.1 km and pressure at point 16 m deep

=  P + 15.68 x 10⁴ -  P +  6.9 x 10⁴ Pa

= 22.58 x 10⁴ Pa .

A rocket is fired at 100 m/s at an angle of 37, how many seconds did it take to get to the top?
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

6.14 s

Explanation:

The time the rocket takes to reach the top is only determined from its vertical motion.

The initial vertical velocity of the rocket is:

u_y = u sin \theta = (100)(sin 37^{\circ})=60.2 m/s

where

u = 100 m/s is the initial speed

\theta=37^{\circ} is the angle of launch

Now we can apply the suvat equation for an object in free-fall:

v_y = u_y +gt

where

v_y is the vertical velocity at time t

g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

The rocket reaches the top when

v_y =0

So by substituting into the equation, we find the time t at which this happens:

t=-\frac{u_y}{g}=-\frac{60.2}{-9.8}=6.14 s

Is it accurate to say that galaxies take up most of the volume of space? Why or why not?
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

ntergalactic space takes up most of the volume of the universe, but even galaxies and star systems consist almost entirely of empty space.

Explanation:

so to be exact galixes do make up most of the volume of space because galaxies are what make up space!

When an oxygen atom forms an ion, it gains two electrons. What is the electrical charge of the oxygen ion? A. +2 B. -1 C. -2 D.
Alecsey [184]
C. 2-

electrons have a negative charge, thus adding two electrons to an atom will give it a charge of 2 times -1 or -2

In this circuit, energy is transferred from a battery to a circuit wire and then to a light bulb, where some of it leaves the sy
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer: The correct order of energy transformation is from CHEMICAL ENERGY to ELECTRICAL ENERGY to LIGHT ENERGY

Explanation:

Energy which is simply defined as the ability to perform work is made up of different forms, these include:

- Mechanical energy: Associated with machines at work.

- LIGHT ENERGY: produced by light bulbs

- ELECTRICAL ENERGY: taking in by television set and other electrical appliances.

- CHEMICAL ENERGY: stores in food and other fuels

- Sound energy: Produced by vibrating objects example piano, drums.

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed in a closed system, but can be transformed from one form to another, thereby keeping the energy in the closed system constant. From the question, the circuit is an example of a closed system and the order of energy transformation taking place is from the battery (CHEMICAL ENERGY) to ELECTRICAL ENERGY(power source) to LIGHT ENERGY(bulb). I hope this helps, thanks.
