Answer:

Here's the answer:

Explanation:

An average open-water certified diver using a standard aluminium 80-cubic-foot tank on a 40-foot dive will be able to stay down for about 45 to 60 minutes before surfacing with a safe reserve of air still in the tank.

Three Factors That Determine How Long a Diver's Air Will Last:

1. Tank Volume

2. Depth

3. Air Consumption Rate

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

63.05 cm²

Explanation:

We use Pascals law to find the answer.

The law says that in an incomprehensible , non-viscous fluid the pressure applied will transmit through out the fluid without a change.

So, Pressure on larger piston = pressure on smaller piston.

      \frac{444}{3.14}  = \frac{8915}{A}

                                     A ≅ 63.05 cm²

The sun is 1.5 × 108 km from Earth. The index of refraction for water is 1.349. How much longer would it take light from the sun
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

175s

Explanation:

time it takes sunlight to reach the earth in  vacuum

C=light speed=299792458m/s

X=1.5x10^8km=1.5x10^11m

c=X/t

T1=X/c

T1=1.5X10^11/299792458=500.34s

time it takes sunlight to reach the earth in  water:

First we calculate the speed of light in water taking into account the refractive index

Cw=299792458m/s/1.349=222233104.5m/s

T2=1.5x10^11/222233104.5m/s=675s

additional time it would take for the light to reach the earth

ΔT=T2-T1=675-500=175s

An object moving with a speed or 67m/s and has kinetic energy of 500 J what is the mass of the object
saveliy_v [14]
To solve this equation, simply plug the values into the equation for calculating kinetic energy.

KE = 1/2mv^2
500 = 1/2(m)(67^2)
500 =2244.5m
m = 500/2244.5 = 0.222 kg.
