The human lungs can function satisfactorily up to a limit where the pressure differ- ence between the outside and inside of the

lungs is one-twentieth of an atmosphere. If a diver uses a snorkel for breathing, how far below the water can she swim? Assume the diver is in salt water whose density is 1025 kg/m3.

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.53 meters.

Explanation:

The given density of water is 1025 kg/m^3

Gauge pressure, that is, (P2 - P2) = Po/19

Here Po = 1.013 * 10^5 Pa

= 1.0.13 * 10^5 Pa / 19 = 5331.58 Pa

The change in pressure associated with the depth is given by the formula:  

P2 -P1 = ρgh  

h = P2 - P1 / ρg

h = 5331.58 Pa / 1025 kg/m^3 * 9.8 m/s^2

h = 0.53 m

Thus, the driver can swim 0.53 meters below water.

While digesting food, the liquid food then enters the small intestine where the acid is _____________________, and enzymes break
djyliett [7]

Answer:

While digesting food, the liquid food then enters the small intestine where the acid is _neutralized_, and enzymes break down fat, protein and carbohydrates for absorption by tiny hairs called villi.

Explanation:

The small intestine is where most chemical digestion occurs. Most of the digestive enzymes that act in the small intestine are secreted by the pancreas and enter the small intestine through the pancreatic duct.

The enzymes enter the small intestine in response to the hormone cholecystokinin, which is produced in the small intestine in response to the presence of nutrients. The hormone secretin also causes <em>bicarbonate to be released into the small intestine from the pancreas in order to </em><em>neutralize</em><em> the potentially harmful acid that comes from the stomach.</em>

This is to protect the cells lining the small intestine from the acid.
