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.

boyakko [2]

Answer:

  L₀ = L_f ,  K_f < K₀

Explanation:

For this exercise we start as the angular momentum, with the friction force they are negligible and if we define the system as formed by the disk and the clay sphere, the forces during the collision are internal and therefore the angular momentum is conserved.

This means that the angular momentum before and after the collision changes.

Initial instant. Before the crash

        L₀ = I₀ w₀

Final moment. Right after the crash

        L_f = (I₀ + mr²) w

we treat the clay sphere as a point particle

how the angular momentum is conserved

       L₀ = L_f

       I₀ w₀ = (I₀ + mr²) w

       w = \frac{I_o}{I_o + m r^2}   w₀

having the angular velocities we can calculate the kinetic energy

       

starting point. Before the crash

        K₀ = ½ I₀ w₀²

final point. After the crash

        K_f = ½ (I₀ + mr²) w²

sustitute

        K_f = ½ (I₀ + mr²)  ( \frac{I_o}{I_o + m r^2}   w₀)²

        Kf = ½  \frac{I_o^2}{ I_o + m r^2}   w₀²

we look for the relationship between the kinetic energy

        \frac{K_f}{K_o}=   \frac{I_o}{I_o + m r^2}

       \frac{K_f}{K_o } < 1

      K_f < K₀          

we see that the kinetic energy is not constant in the process, this implies that part of the energy is transformed into potential energy during the collision

Does friction always oppose relative motion?
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Friction is a force that opposes relative motion between systems in contact. One of the simpler characteristics of friction is that it is parallel to the contact surface between systems and always in a direction that opposes motion or attempted motion of the systems relative to each other.
