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 box, initially at rest, has 36.7 N of force exerted on it for 2.81 s. If the box has a mass of 7.41 kg, what was its velocity
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

13.91 m/s

Explanation:

First we need to find the acceleration:

Acceleration = Force/mass

Acceleration = 36.7N/7.41 kg

Acceleration = 4.95 m/s² (rounded to two decimal places)

Then we find the velocity:

Velocity = Acceleration * Time

Velocity = 4.95 m/s² * 2.81 s

Velocity = 13.91 m/s (rounded to two decimal places)

a 15 kg tv sots on a shelf at a height of 0.3 m. how much gravitational potential energy is added to the television when it is l
nata0808 [166]
Gravitational potential energy can be described as m*g*h (mass times gravity times height).

Originally,
15kg * 9.8m/s^2 *0.3 m = 44.1 kg*m^2/s^2 = 44.1 Joules.

After it is moved to a 1m shelf:
15kg * 9.8m/s * 1 = 147 kg*m^2/s^2= 147 Joules.

To find how much energy was added, we subtract final energy from initial energy:

147 J - 44.1 J = 102.9 Joules.
