Scuba divers are warned that if they must make a rapid ascent, they should exhale on the way up. If a diver rapidly ascends to t

he surface with lungs full of air, his lungs could be damaged. Explain why this is so.

Air for a diver comes out of a high pressure tank at - Same- pressure compared to the water around the diver (metered by the regulator).

This means the lungs are inflated with - Highly pressurized- gas.

This does not adversely affect the diver when deep underwater, because the entire environment around the diver is at -Same - pressure.

If the diver suddenly surface, the air in the alveoli in the lungs will still be at - a higher - pressure compared to the air around the diver, which will be at - a lower - pressure.

The gas in the diver's lungs will - expand - and can damage the alveoli.

A circular saw blade with radius 0.175 m starts from rest and turns in a vertical plane with a constant angular acceleration of
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

x = 11.23  m

Explanation:

For this interesting exercise, we must use angular kinematics, linear kinematics and the relationship between angular and linear quantities.

Let's reduce to SI system units

    θ = 155 rev (2pi rad / rev) = 310π rad

    α = 2.00rev / s2 (2pi rad / 1 rev) = 4π rad / s²

Let's look for the angular velocity at the time the piece is released, with starting from rest the initial angular velocity is zero (wo = 0)

    w² = w₀² + 2 α θ  

    w =√ 2 α θ

    w = √(2 4pi 310pi)

    w = 156.45  rad / s

The relationship between angular and linear velocity

    v = w r

    v = 156.45  0.175

    v = 27.38 m / s

In this part we have the linear speed and the height that it travels to reach the floor, so with the projectile launch equations we can find the time it takes to arrive

    y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

As it leaves the highest point its speed is horizontal

   y = 0 - ½ g t²

   t = √ (-2y / g)

   t = √ (-2 (-0.820) /9.8)

   t = 0.41 s

With this time we calculate the horizontal distance, because the constant horizontal speed

   x = vox t

   x = 27.38 0.41

   x = 11.23  m

A plant cell is no longer capable of capturing energy from sunlight and converting it into chemical energy. Which organelle is m
Nadya [2.5K]

The chloroplast of the cell is most likely damaged if the plant cell is no longer capable of capturing energy from sunlight and converting it into chemical energy.

The chloroplast is the structure inside the leaf cell that is known for capturing light energy from the sun.

This light energy is then used to make food that has chemical energy. If a plant cell has a damaged chloroplast or the chloroplast is removed, then it will no longer be able to trap the light energy. As a result, the process of photosynthesis will not occur in the plant cell. The plant cell will not be able to make the chemical energy required for functioning.

a deer with a mass of 176 kg is running head-on towards you with a velocity of 19 m/s. you are going north. find the magnitude a
Igoryamba

Momentum = Mass × Velocity

According to this formula,

Momentum of deer = 176 × 19 = 3344 kg•m/s.

Since you are heading north and the deer is running towards you, the direction of the deer' s momentum is north as well.

A 300 MHz electromagnetic wave in air (medium 1) is normally incident on the planar boundary of a lossless dielectric medium wit
Masja [62]

Answer:

Wavelength of the incident wave in air = 1 m

Wavelength of the incident wave in medium 2 = 0.33 m

Intrinsic impedance of media 1 = 377 ohms

Intrinsic impedance of media 2 = 125.68 ohms

Check the explanation section for a better understanding

Explanation:

a) Wavelength of the incident wave in air

The frequency of the electromagnetic wave in air, f = 300 MHz = 3 * 10⁸ Hz

Speed of light in air, c =  3 * 10⁸ Hz

Wavelength of the incident wave in air:

\lambda_{air} = \frac{c}{f} \\\lambda_{air} = \frac{3 * 10^{8} }{3 * 10^{8}} \\\lambda_{air} = 1 m

Wavelength of the incident wave in medium 2

The refractive index of air in the lossless dielectric medium:

n = \sqrt{\epsilon_{r} } \\n = \sqrt{9 }\\n =3

\lambda_{2} = \frac{c}{nf}\\\lambda_{2} = \frac{3 * 10^{6} }{3 * 3 * 10^{6}}\\\lambda_{2} = 1/3\\\lambda_{2} = 0.33 m

b) Intrinsic impedances of media 1 and media 2

The intrinsic impedance of media 1 is given as:

n_1 = \sqrt{\frac{\mu_0}{\epsilon_{0} } }

Permeability of free space, \mu_{0} = 4 \pi * 10^{-7} H/m

Permittivity for air, \epsilon_{0} = 8.84 * 10^{-12} F/m

n_1 = \sqrt{\frac{4\pi * 10^{-7}  }{8.84 * 10^{-12}  } }

n_1 = 377 \Omega

The intrinsic impedance of media 2 is given as:

n_2 = \sqrt{\frac{\mu_r \mu_0}{\epsilon_r \epsilon_{0} } }

Permeability of free space, \mu_{0} = 4 \pi * 10^{-7} H/m

Permittivity for air, \epsilon_{0} = 8.84 * 10^{-12} F/m

ϵr = 9

n_2 = \sqrt{\frac{4\pi * 10^{-7} *1 }{8.84 * 10^{-12} *9 } }

n_2 = 125.68 \Omega

c) The reflection coefficient,r  and the transmission coefficient,t at the boundary.

Reflection coefficient, r = \frac{n - n_{0} }{n + n_{0} }

You didn't put the refractive index at the boundary in the question, you can substitute it into the formula above to find it.

r = \frac{3 - n_{0} }{3 + n_{0} }

Transmission coefficient at the boundary, t = r -1

d) The amplitude of the incident electric field is E_{0} = 10 V/m

Maximum amplitudes in the total field is given by:

E = tE_{0} and E = r E_{0}

E = 10r, E = 10t
