Long Snorkel: Inhalation of a breath occurs when the muscles surrounding the human lungs move to increase the volume of the lung

s, thereby reducing the air pressure in the lungs. The difference between the reduced pressure in the lungs and outside atmospheric pressure causes a flow of air into the lungs. The maximum reduction in air pressure that muscles of the chest can produce in the lungs against the surrounding air pressure on the chest and body is about 3740 Pa. Consider the longest snorkel that a human can operate. The minimum pressure difference needed to take in a breath is about 188 Pa. Find the depth h that a person could swim to and still breathe with this snorkel

Answer:

h = 0.362 m

Explanation:

The pressure equation with depth is

      P₂ = P_{atm} +ρ g h

The gauge pressure is

       P2 -  P_{atm} = ρ g h

This is the pressure that muscles can create

       P₂ -  P_{atm}= 3740 Pa

But still the person needs a small pressure for the transfer of gases, so

      P₂ -  P_{atm} = 3740 - 188 = 3552 Pa

This is the maximum pressure difference, where the person can still breathe,

Let's clear the height

      h = 3552 / ρ g

      h = 3552 / (1000 9.8)

      h = 0.362 m

This is the maximum depth where the person can still breathe normally.

Yellow light with wavelength 600 nm is travelling to the left (in the negative x direction) in vacuum. The light is polarized al
kiruha [24]

Answer: (a) and (b) => check attached file.

(c). Picture (a) and (b) will both remain the same.

Explanation:

IMPORTANT: The solution to the question (a) and (b) that is  (a) Draw a neat snapshot mode labeled vector picture of the wave. (b) Draw a neat movie mode labeled vector picture of the wave is there in the ATTACHED FILE/PICTURE.

It is also worthy of note to know that in anything Electromagnetic wave, the magnetic field, the Electric Field and their direction of propagation are perpendicular to each other.

Therefore, knowing the fact above we can say that in yellow light, the magnetic field is in the y-direction and the Electric Field is in the z-direction.

Hence, the solution to option C is given below;

(C).If the wave were to represent blue light instead of yellow light, picture (a) will remain the same because both light are Electromagnetic wave, although the wavelength will have to change. Picture (b) will also remain the same because they are both Electromagnetic waves and possess similar properties.

A ball is dropped from the top of a 77 m building. With what speed does the ball hit the ground? _________ m/s
vitfil [10]

Answer:

38.87 m/s

Explanation:

Given that the ball is dropped from a height = 77 m

u = 0 m/s

s = 77 m

a = g = 9.81 m/s²

Applying the expression as:

v^2-u^2=2as

Applying values as:

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 77+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=38.87\ m/s

<u>The speed with which the ball hit the ground = 38.87 m/s</u>

An arrow is shot at 28.0° above the horizontal. Its initial speed is 50 m/s and it hits the target.
fomenos
<span> <span>We will need to work with the components of the velocity, in the x and the y direction. We will say up is positive so g is -9.81 m/s^2. 

Given that the angle was 32 degrees: 

Velocity up (in the y direction) is 55 m/s * sin 32 = 29.15 m/s 
And 

Velocity forward (in the x direction) is 55 m/s * cos 32 = 46.64 m/s 

The acceleration of gravity, -9.81 m/s2 continuously decreases the velocity in the y direction. At the maximum height, the velocity will be zero. This should make sense, for as soon as the decreasing velocity becomes negative, the arrow will start to fall. 

We have v = v(0) + at 

And we set this to zero and solve for t: 

0 = 29.15 + -9.81t 

9.81t = 29.15 

t = 2.97 seconds 

To calculate height at this point, we use the equation that calculates position based on time, acceleration, and initial velocity (we could use an alternate too, an equation derived from the one we are now using and v = v(0) + at. 

x = x(0) + v(0)t + (1/2)at^2 

x = 0 + 29.15 * 2.97 + 0.5 9.81 (2.97)^2 

x = 43.30 m 

For a projectile, the plot of distance traveled in the upward direction is a parabola, and it takes the same amount of time to come down as it did to go up. 

We can double 2.97 to get the time of impact on the target at 2(2.97) = 5.94 seconds 

(Alternately, if you like, you can solve 

0 = 0 + 29.15t + 0.5 9.81 t^2 

And find that the two roots are 0 and 5.94). 

http://www.math.com/students/calculators... will do the quadratic for you. 

Given a horizontal velocity of 46.64 m/s, we can calculate 

46.64 m/s (5.94 s) = 277 m for the distance of the target.</span></span>
