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.

frutty [35]

Answer:

<em>D. Molecules are made of atoms of the same element or different elements. </em>

Explanation:

Molecules are made up of atoms. The atoms forming the molecule can be same or different. The size and function of the molecules vary from each other. The properties and function of atoms change as and when it forms a molecule.

The atoms combine with the help of a bond and it can be a covalent bond or ionic bond or hydrogen bond to form a molecule. The bond between the atoms gives shape to the molecule.
