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.

What is the gravitational force between a 45 kg person, and the Earth at 5.98 x 1024 kg, with a distance of
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

C. 441 N

Explanation:

Gravitational force between two objects can by calculated by the formula

= G m₁m₂ / r² , m₁ and m₂ are masses at distance r

= ( 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x 45 x 5.98 x 10²⁴) / ( 6.38 x 10⁶ )²

= 44.09 x 10

= 440.9 N

= 441 N .

according to Newton's third law what is the equal and opposite force to the downward force of gravity pulling on a man standing
Fudgin [204]

When you're talking about gravity, it's easy to identify the equal
opposite forces.

Gravity ALWAYS produces an equal pair of opposite forces. 
They both act between the centers of the two objects, one in
each direction.

Consider the equal pair of opposite gravitational forces between
you and the Earth.  One force acts on you, and draws you toward
the center of the Earth.  We call that force "your weight". 
The other one acts on the Earth, and draws it toward the center
of you.  Hardly anybody ever talks about that one, but the two
forces are equal ... your weight on Earth is equal to the Earth's
weight on you !

<h3>What is a biosphere?</h3>

A biosphere can be defined as the part of the earth that supports life. These include :

  • aquatic,

  • desert,

  • forest,

  • grassland and

  • tundra.

The flow of energy through the biosphere includes

  • Energy from the sun which is as a result of the nuclear fusion,

  • the energy released is absorbed by plant chlorophyll,

  • Chemical energy is released during respiration.

  • Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
