<span>At 100 feet, the diver is under about 4 atmospheres pressure. If she is free diving, her lungs will be compressed to about 1/4 their size on the surface (with some movement of the major abdominal organs). If she is scuba diving, the air which she is breathing is also at 4 atmospheres and there is no problem. (The non-gas spaces in the body are not-compressible and are unaffected.) The only problems she has to concern herself with are the beginnings to nitrogen narcosis and the nitrogen which is dissolving (Henry's law) into her body tissues. On the way up, she also has to remember that the air in her lungs will expand by a factor of 4 and she better exhale! Hope this helps you</span>
Answer:
You may, but it is too risky.
Even though you are being cautious around using electric equipment around water, you'll never know what can happen. You might accidentally drop that piece of electrical equipment you are using into the water. Water can be splashed around by someone or something without you noticing it and it may affect the object you are using. Sometimes, if water comes in contact with an electrical object, it may cause you electric shocks or the equipment you are using has a chance of exploding and may hurt you. You can guarantee that waterproof electrical equipment is safe to use, but it is better not to risk it too much.
Answer:
A. The pressure will increase 4 times. P₂ = 4 P₁
B. The pressure will decrease to half its value. P₂ = 0.5 P₁
C. The pressure will decrease to half its value. P₂ = 0.5 P₁
Explanation:
Initially, we have n₁ moles of a gas that occupy a volume V₁ at temperature T₁ and pressure P₁.
<em>What would happen to the gas pressure inside the cylinder if you do the following?</em>
<em />
<em>Part A: Decrease the volume to one-fourth the original volume while holding the temperature constant. Express your answer in terms of the variable P initial.</em>
V₂ = 0.25 V₁. According to Boyle's law,
P₁ . V₁ = P₂ . V₂
P₁ . V₁ = P₂ . 0.25 V₁
P₁ = P₂ . 0.25
P₂ = 4 P₁
<em>Part B: Reduce the Kelvin temperature to half its original value while holding the volume constant. Express your answer in terms of the variable P initial.</em>
T₂ = 0.5 T₁. According to Gay-Lussac's law,
<em>Part C: Reduce the amount of gas to half while keeping the volume and temperature constant. Express your answer in terms of the variable P initial.</em>
n₂ = 0.5 n₁.
P₁ in terms of the ideal gas equation is:
P₂ in terms of the ideal gas equation is:
Answer: Heat causes surrounding air to rapidly expand and vibrate, which creates the pealing thunder we hear a short time after seeing a lightning flash.
