At the surface, atmospheric pressure is 1.013 × 10^5 Pa. People can normally snorkel down to a depth of roughly one meter. What

is the additional pressure on the air in their lungs? (Assume they are diving in fresh water.)

Answer:

1.01 × 10⁵ Pa

Explanation:

At the surface, atmospheric pressure is 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa.

We need to find the total pressure on the air in the lungs of a person to a depth of 1 meter.

Pressure at a depth is given by :

$P=\rho gh$

Where

$\rho$ is the density of air, $\rho=1.225\ kg/m^3$

So,

$P=1.225\times 9.8\times 1\\\\=12\ Pa$

Total pressure, P = Atmospheric pressure + 12 Pa

= 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa + 12 Pa

= 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa

Hence, the total pressure is 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa.

Possible reasons why seascorpions went extinct

BabaBlast [244]

Sea scorpions or Eurypterids lived about 251.9 million years ago. They were formidable predators and hunters, but they were wiped out in the Great Permian Mass Extinction, which is also known as the Great Dying (96% of all species on Earth went extinct).The largest species like Jaekelopterus was over 7 feet long! They were mainly thought to go extinct because of a slew of natural disasters that occurred when a comet hit the Earth, as well as increased volcanic activity polluting the seas that Sea scorpions lived in, as well as rising sea temperatures. The Silurian, when these Sea scorpions proliferated was when the water was cooler, holding in more nutrients, allowing both Sea Scorpions and other animals to spread all over the world. But as the oceans became polluted from the volcanoes (and the ash they produced) and the global ocean temperatures began to rise, many animals may not have been able to cope or adapt to the extreme change, becoming helpless in their nutrient deficient water (compared to what they were used to).

I hope this helps!

calculate the mass of potassium chlorate (kcio3) required to obtain 10g of oxygen in the following reaction:kclO3-kcl+O2

igor_vitrenko [27]

First, balance the reaction:

_ KClO₃ ==> _ KCl + _ O₂

As is, there are 3 O's on the left and 2 O's on the right, so there needs to be a 2:3 ratio of KClO₃ to O₂. Then there are 2 K's and 2 Cl's among the reactants, so we have a 1:1 ratio of KClO₃ to KCl :

2 KClO₃ ==> 2 KCl + 3 O₂

Since we start with a known quantity of O₂, let's divide each coefficient by 3.

2/3 KClO₃ ==> 2/3 KCl + O₂

Next, look up the molar masses of each element involved:

• K: 39.0983 g/mol

• Cl: 35.453 g/mol

• O: 15.999 g/mol

Convert 10 g of O₂ to moles:

(10 g) / (31.998 g/mol) ≈ 0.31252 mol

The balanced reaction shows that we need 2/3 mol KClO₃ for every mole of O₂. So to produce 10 g of O₂, we need

(2/3 (mol KClO₃)/(mol O₂)) × (0.31252 mol O₂) ≈ 0.20835 mol KClO₃

KClO₃ has a total molar mass of about 122.549 g/mol. Then the reaction requires a mass of

(0.20835 mol) × (122.549 g/mol) ≈ 25.532 g

of KClO₃.

Water (density = 1x10^3 kg/m^3) flows at 15.5 m/s through a pipe with radius 0.040 m. The pipe goes up to the second floor of th

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The speed of the water flow in the pipe on the second floor is approximately 13.1 meters per second.

Explanation:

By assuming that fluid is incompressible and there are no heat and work interaction through the line of current corresponding to the pipe, we can calculate the speed of the water floor in the pipe on the second floor by Bernoulli's Principle, whose model is:

$P_{1} + \frac{\rho\cdot v_{1}^{2}}{2}+\rho\cdot g\cdot z_{1} = P_{2} + \frac{\rho\cdot v_{2}^{2}}{2}+\rho\cdot g\cdot z_{2}$ (1)

Where:

$P_{1}$ , $P_{2}$ - Pressures of the water on the first and second floors, measured in pascals.

$\rho$ - Density of water, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

$v_{1}$ , $v_{2}$ - Speed of the water on the first and second floors, measured in meters per second.

$z_{1}$ , $z_{2}$ - Heights of the water on the first and second floors, measured in meters.

Now we clear the final speed of the water flow:

$\frac{\rho\cdot v_{2}^{2}}{2} = P_{1}-P_{2}+\rho \cdot \left[\frac{v_{1}^{2}}{2}+g\cdot (z_{1}-z_{2}) \right]$

$\rho\cdot v_{2}^{2} = 2\cdot (P_{1}-P_{2})+\rho\cdot [v_{1}^{2}+2\cdot g\cdot (z_{1}-z_{2})]$

$v_{2}^{2}= \frac{2\cdot (P_{1}-P_{2})}{\rho}+v_{1}^{2}+2\cdot g\cdot (z_{1}-z_{2})$

$v_{2} = \sqrt{\frac{2\cdot (P_{1}-P_{2})}{\rho}+v_{1}^{2}+2\cdot g\cdot (z_{1}-z_{2}) }$ (2)

If we know that $P_{1}-P_{2} = 0\,Pa$ , $\rho=1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , $v_{1} = 15.5\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $z_{1}-z_{2} = -3.5\,m$ , then the speed of the water flow in the pipe on the second floor is:

$v_{2}=\sqrt{\left(15.5\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}+2\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (-3.5\,m)}$

$v_{2} \approx 13.100\,\frac{m}{s}$

The speed of the water flow in the pipe on the second floor is approximately 13.1 meters per second.

for an object that is speeding up in the positive direction, what does the displacement vs. time graph look like?

slava [35]

Answer:

The speeding up is steady, it is a parabola (a=V*t+(at^2)/2), and give it's an equation in connection to time, at that point, it is conceivable to discover the separation recipe by utilizing more substantial amount mathematics(integrals).
