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.

An olfactory stimulus travels from a receptor to the ________.
vlabodo [156]
The appropriate response is the Olfactory Bulb. It is a mind structure in charge of our feeling of smell. Situated at the tip of the olfactory projection, the knob forms data about smells in the wake of getting tangible contribution from the nose. 


The olfactory bulb is a heap of afferent nerve strands from the mitral and tufted cells of the olfactory globule that interfaces with a few target areas in the mind, including the piriform cortex, amygdala, and entorhinal cortex.

How does gravitational electrical and magnetic forces act on a maglev train
vampirchik [111]
The gravitational force is being felt as the Earth pulls the train downwards using the two forces. The coils that provide the forces releases an electrical current which makes an electromagnetic field. It repels the materials with an equal force that goes up as well.

A crop is treated with a pesticide and 98% of the insects are killed. what will most likely happen to the remaining insects?
Marina CMI [18]

The 2% of the insects will begin to reproduce and grow their population exponentially and in time enable the population to recover. This is if the population is large enough to enable random mating. The 98% reduction in population drastically reduces competition for the remaining individuals hence giving them abundant resources for them to thrive.

Estimating Population Size – Review the two approaches to estimating population size and answer the following questions.
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

b) there are 56 deer in 1000 acres of area.

Explanation:

If a person has 1000 aces of land and a local wildlife biologist tell him that on every 18 acres only one deer is present so in 1000 acres there are 56 deer are present.

calculation;

1 deer ------ 18 acres

x --------- 1000 acres

by cross multiplication, we get

18 x = 1000

both side divided by 18, we get

x = 55.5

by rounding off we get

x = 56

She has a normal BMI or Body Mass Index, she has a good body composition because she is a varsity player and she is exercising her body well. So the answer in this question is she is within recommendation for waist circumference and percent body fat.
