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.

Find the current passing through each of the 3 resistors connected parallel to each other as shown in the figure (i1, i2, I3). S
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

I1 = ε/R1

I2 = ε/R2

I3 = ε/R3

Explanation:

From the image, we see that the resistors are connected in parallel. This means that the voltage passing through them is the same.

Now, formula for current is; I = V/R

In this case, V which is voltage is denoted by ε.

Thus;

I1 = ε/R1

I2 = ε/R2

I3 = ε/R3

Determine the amount of torque
malfutka [58]

Answer:

250Nm

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Length of the long pry bar  = 1m

Force acting on it  = 250N

Angle  = 90°

Unknown:

Amount of torque applied  = ?

Solution:

Torque is the turning force on a body that causes the rotation of the body.

The formula is given as:

 Torque  = Force x r Sin Ф  

r is the distance

 So;

   Torque  = 250 x 1 x sin 90  = 250Nm

How do you find the change in potential energy
ratelena [41]

P.E = mgh

This is the formula for potential energy.

This is where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.

All you have to do is multiply all these numbers together.

A spherical helium filled balloon (B) with a hanging passenger cage being held by a single vertical cable (C) attached to Earth
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The tension is  T  = 4326.7 \  N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  total mass is  m  =  200 \  kg

    The  radius is r = 5 \  m

     The  density of air is  \rho_a  =  1.225 \ kg/m^3

Generally the upward  force acting on the balloon is mathematically represented as

        F_N  =   T  + mg

=>     (\rho_a  *  V  *  g ) =   T  + mg

=>   T  =  (\rho_a  * V  *  g   )  - mg

Here V is the volume  of the spherical helium filled balloon which is mathematically represented as

      V  =  \frac{4}{3}  * \pi r^3

=>   V  =  \frac{4}{3}  * 3.142 *(5)^3

=>   V  = 523.67\  m^3

So

    T  = (1.225 *  523.67*  9.8 ) -  200 *  9.8

   T  = 4326.7 \  N
