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.

Two wheels with fixed hubs and radii 0.51 m and 1.9 m, each having a mass of 3 kg, start from rest. Forces 5 N and F2 are applie
Katarina [22]

Answer:

18.63 N

Explanation:

Assuming that the sum of torques are equal

Στ = Iα

First wheel

Στ = 5 * 0.51 = 3 * (0.51)² * α

On making α subject of formula, we have

α = 2.55 / 0.7803

α = 3.27

If we make the α of each one equal to each other so that

5 / (3 * 0.51) = F2 / (3 * 1.9)

solve for F2 by making F2 the subject of the formula, we have

F2 = (3 * 1.9 * 5) / (3 * 0.51)

F2 = 28.5 / 1.53

F2 = 18.63 N

Therefore, the force F2 has to 18.63 N in order to impart the same angular acceleration to each wheel.

Does the air exert a buoyant force on all objects in air or only on objects such as balloons that are very light for their size?
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Solution:-

Buoyancy is the force that causes objects to float. It is the force exerted on an object that is partly or wholly immersed in a fluid. Buoyancy is caused by the differences in pressure acting on opposite sides of an object immersed in a static fluid. It is also known as the buoyant force. Buoyancy is the phenomena due to Buoyant Force.

It is as an upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an object immersed in a fluid. As we know, the pressure in a fluid column increases with depth. Thus, the pressure at the bottom of an object submerged in the fluid is greater than that at the top. The difference in this pressure results in a net upward force on the object which we define as buoyancy.

- The formula for buoyant force (Fb) is given:

                           Fb = ρ*g*V

- The force acts on all objects. However, it depends on the fluid density and amount of volume displaced.

- The Buoyant force exerted by air with density = 1.225 kg/m^3 on an object with volume (V) is:

                          Fb = ρ*g*V = 1.225*9.81*V = 12.02*V

- For the similar object with mass (m), the downward weight would be:

                           W = m*g

- For the object to float the buoyant force (Fb) must be greater than weight of the object:

                          Fb > W

                          12.02*V > m*9.81

                          V / m > 0.816

- The ratio of V / m must be at-least = 0.816.

- Assuming the object is fully immersed in air, then the volume displaced V = ρ_material*V

                         ρ_material < 1 / 0.816

                        ρ_material < 1.225 or ( ρ_air )

- So the for an object to float in air its material density must always be less than that of air. That why in balloons lighter gas is used which have density less than that of air like Helium.

An 88 kg worker stands on a bathroom scale in a motionless elevator. When the elevator begins to move, the scale reads 900 N. Fi
Aleks [24]

Answer:

The magnitude is "3.8 m/s²", in the upward direction.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Mass,

m = 88 kg

Scale reads,

T = 900 N

As we know,

⇒  N=mg

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒      =88\times 9.8

⇒      =862.4 \ N

Now,

⇒  T=mg-ma

On substituting the given values in the above equation, we get

⇒  900=862.4-9.8 a

On subtracting "862.4" from both sides, we get

⇒  900-862.4=862.4-9.8 a-862.4

⇒              37.6=-9.8a

⇒                   a=-\frac{37.6}{9.8}

⇒                   a=3.8 \ m/s^2 (upward direction)

the body Will remain at rest or move at constant velocity unless acted by external net force are unbalance force​
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

law of motion states that a body at rest remains at rest, or, if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force. This is also known as the law of inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to remain at rest or remain in motion.

Define the following terms.
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

I can only define a few of them, hope you don't mind.

Seismic- It means connected with or caused by earthquakes

Epicenter- It means the point on the earth's surface where the effects of an earthquake are most felt strongly.

Fault- A place where there is a break that is longer than usual in the layers of rock in the earth's crust.

Tectonic waves- Waves connected with the structure of the earth's surface.

Plate boundaries- The boundaries that differentiates the large sheets of rock (called PLATES) that form the earth's surface. Plate tectonics is the movement of the large sheets of rocks that form the earth's surface
