Calculate the pressure the fluid exerted on your diver. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 and the density of the water is
erica [24]

Complete question:

A diver is 10 m below the surface of water. Calculate the pressure the fluid exerted on the diver. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 and the density of the water is 1000 kg/m3. Answer in units of Pa. Show your work.

Answer:

Tthe pressure the fluid exerted on the diver is 1.99 x 10⁵ Pa

Explanation:

Given;

density of water, ρ = 1000 kg/m³

diver's position below the surface of the water, h = 10 m

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

Let the atmospheric pressure, P₀ = 101325 Pa

The pressure 10 m below the surface of the water is calculated as;

P =  P₀  + ρgh

P = 101325 Pa  +  (1000 x 9.8 x 10)Pa

P = 199325 Pa

P = 1.99 x 10⁵ Pa.

Therefore, the pressure the fluid exerted on the diver is 1.99 x 10⁵ Pa

What is the purpose of experimentation in a research study
Nat2105 [25]
Hello,

The answer is to "prove your hypothesis".

Reason:

Researchers do experiments to prove there hypothesis they will most likely do the experiment a few times in older to have the conclusion valid therefore proving his or her experiment. 

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!

The average velocity of blood flowing in a certain 4-mm-diameter artery in the human body is 0.28 m/s. The viscosity and density
OLga [1]

Answer:

V = 3.5 x 10⁻⁶ m³/s = 3.5 cm³/s

Explanation:

The volume flow rate of the blood in the artery can be given by the following formula:

V = Av

where,

V = Volume flow rate = ?

A = cross-sectional area of artery = πd²/4 = π(0.004 m)²/4 = 1.26 x 10⁻⁵ m²

v = velcoity = 0.28 m/s

Therefore,

V = (1.26\ x\ 10^{-5}\ m^2)(0.28\ m/s)

<u>V = 3.5 x 10⁻⁶ m³/s = 3.5 cm³/s</u>
