Our lungs are not designed breathe oxygen from water to be able to breathe under water.

We can certainly draw water into our lungs, even though
our brain screams "Don't do that !".

But our lungs can only separate oxygen out of air, not out of
water. So if there's only water in our lungs, we pass out after
a short time because we're not getting any oxygen.

Explain at least 3 primary and secondary online sources of data<br>

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer And Explanation:

Primary sources of online data could be blog posts, twitter posts, and vlogs because the person producing forms of work is giving first-person account of his experience.

Secondary sources online data could be articles, news, and documentaries because people have gathered several primary sources to build their case that they are making.

Hope this is clear, and good luck with studies :)

A cylindrical can 150 mm in diameter is filled to a depth of 100 mm with a fuel oil. The oil has a mass of 1.56 kg. Calculate it

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Density (φ) = 0,8827 Kg/L

Specific weight (Ws) = 8,65 N/L

Specific gravity (Gs) = 0,8827 (without unit)

Explanation:

The density formula: φ = $\frac{m}{V}$

I know the mass "m", I need to find out the volume of the cylinder (V)

V = π* r²*h

The radius "r" is equal to half the diameter (150mm) = 75mm

Now I can find out the density (φ)

φ = $\frac{1,56Kg}{1,767145L}$ = 0,8827 Kg/L

The specific weight (Ws) is the relationship between the weight of substance (oil) and its volume. We apply the following formula:

Ws = φ*g

(g = gravity = 9,8 m/s²)

Finally, specific gravity (Gs) is the ratio between the density of a substance (oil) "φ(o)" and the density of water "φ(w)" :

Gs = φ(o) / φ(w)

(φ(w) = 1 Kg/L

Hope this can help you !!

Answer:

v = 20.31 m/s

Explanation:

p = mv -> v = p/m = 32,500 kg*m/s / 1,600 kg = 20.31 m/s
