A diver named Jacques observes a bubble of air rising from the bottom of a lake (where the absolute pressure is 3.50 atm) to the

surface (where the pressure is 1.00 atm). The temperature at the bottom is 4.00 ∘C, and the temperature at the surface is 23.0 ∘C.What is the ratio of the volume of the bubble as it reaches the surface (Vs) to its volume at the bottom (Vb)?If Jaques were to hold his breath the air in his lungs would be kept at a constant temperature. Would it be safe for Jacques to hold his breath while ascending from the bottom of the lake to the surface?

Answer:

A) the ratio of volumes of the bubble is Vs/Vb= 3.74

B)  would not be safe since Vs/Vb== 3.5 and there is no lung capacity to store such amount of volume, and thus would generate an unsafe pressure over the lungs. would be better to release air accordingly to maintain safe conditions.

Explanation:

assuming the gas of the bubble behaves as ideal gas

P * V = n * R * T

where P= absolute pressure, V= volume occupied by the gas, n = number of moles , R = ideal gas constant , T = absolute temperature

if we assume that the mass of the bubble remains constant ( that is, it does not capture other bubbles during ascension of disaggregate into smaller ones and there is no mass transfer into the bubble due to diffusion)

inicial state)  Pb * Vb = n * R * Tb

final  state)  Ps * Vs = n * R * Ts

dividing both equations

(Ps/Pb)(Vs/Vb) = Ts/Tb

therefore

Vs/Vb= (Ts/Tb) (Pb/Ps)

since Tb = 4°C = 277 K and Ts= 23°C = 296 K

Vs/Vb= (Ts/Tb) (Pb/Ps) = (296K/277K)*(3.5 atm/1 atm) = 3.74

B) if the T remains constant Ts=Tb and thus

Vs/Vb= (Ts/Tb) (Pb/Ps)= 1* (Pb/Ps) = 3.5 atm/1 atm = 3.5

it would not be safe since there is no lung capacity to store such amount of volume, and thus would generate an unsafe pressure over the lungs. would be better to release air accordingly to maintain safe conditions.

At the surface of Jupiter's moon Io, the acceleration due to gravity is 1.81m/s2 . A watermelon has a weight of 58.0N at the sur
kvasek [131]

Answer: A) mass on earth surface = 5.91kg

B) mass on surface of jupiter = 5.91kg

C) weight on surface of jupiter = 10.697N

Explanation:

The relationship between weight (W), mass (m) and acceleration due gravity (g) is given below

W=mg

From the question, g= 9.8m/s² and weight on the surface on the earth is 58N

A) The mass of watermelon on earth is

m = 58/ 9.8 = 5.91kg

B) the mass of the watermelon on jupiter is 5.91kg.

You will notice this is the same as the mass of watermelon on earth and that is so because mass is a scalar quantity that does not depends on the distance away from the center of the earth (unlike weight which is a vector) thus making it constant all through any location.

C) mass of watermelon is 5.91kg, g=9.8m/s² weight of watermelon on jupiter is given below as

W = mg

W = 5.91 x 9.8

= 10.697N.

What is the most widely accepted model used to predict the future of the universe?
lukranit [14]

Answer A an Open Universe

The future of universe is predicted from space time curve. There are many possibilities solutions or outcomes which on plotting are classified as open, close, flat and curved. Open Universe is when universe is expanding and it will continue to expand forever. This is proved experimentally as well that universe is expanding using red and blue shift observations from various aspects.

When you are on a huge water slide what forces are there? when will you experience a net force?
Pani-rosa [81]
When you are on a huge water slide, the force present as you slide is the gravitational force. It is because the gravity enables you to slide down the water slide. The net force is the overall forces of the object, so as you slide the water slide, you may experience the net force once you slide down with the gravity and water sliding you down.

An object in static equilibrium has a coefficient of static friction as 0.110. If the normal force acting on the object is 95.0
igomit [66]

Answer:

mass = 9.7 kg

Explanation:

As we know that when object is at rest on the ground of flat base then we will have

N - mg = 0

so from here

N = mg

now we have

N = 95 Newton

now from above equation we will have

95 = m\times g

95 = m\times 9.8

m = 9.7 kg
