<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

756 mm Hg

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Intrapleural pressure is the pressure of the air within the pleural cavity, between the visceral and parietal pleurae. This pressure changes during different phases of breathing.
  • <em><u>Due to certain characteristics of the lungs, the intrapleural pressure is always lower than, or negative to, the intra-alveolar pressure. It  remains approximately –4 mm Hg throughout the breathing cycle.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Therefore; if the intrapulmonary pressure was 760 mm hg then the intrapleural pressure will be (760 -4) mm Hg, that is 756 mm Hg</u></em>

Why does the heaviness of an object not relate to the density
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Scientists define density as the mass of a substance per unit volume. The word “per”

signals that thinking about density requires thinking about a relationship. It is the relation

between the mass (or weight) of one unit of a material and the volume of that one unit.

Density cannot be directly perceived or measured. It must be inferred from the

relationship of the mass and volume. However, it can be determined by calculation

which is how many schools teach it. To calculate density, you first measure the weight

and volume of an object precisely, then you divide the mass by the volume (i.e. d=m/v,

density equals mass divided by volume). So for example, the density of water is 1 gram

per cubic centimeter because a volume of 1 cubic centimeter of water has a mass of 1

gram. A substance which has a mass of greater than one gram per cubic centimeter

has a density greater than 1.0 gram per cubic centimeter; a substance which has a

mass of less than one gram per cubic centimeter has a density of less than 1.0 gram

per cubic centimeter.

You call to a friend from a boat floating in the ocean. Which best describes the changes in the speed of the sound waves as they
Alina [70]

The correct answer is: The speed of sound is faster in the water than in the air.  

The speed of sound is different between those two mediums because they have different densities. Since, water is denser than air, more energy is required to generate a wave but once it stars, it travels faster than it would do in air. Sound waves’ travel can be presented by particles that transmit the energy one to another as they bump. The sound speed is lower in the air (than in water) because particles are far apart, so they travel further before they collide.
