Answer: The volume of gas expands because of the decrease in pressure as he tries to exit the water body, therefore he must take necessary precaution.
Explanation:
Using Boyle's law which states that the the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature
ie P1VI=P2V2
A diver absorbs compressed nitrogen gas when he dives into the water body, As he ascends out of the water body having less pressure, the volume of nitrogen gas which he absorbs will tend to expand following Boyle's Law. Therefore a scuba driver should not rises quickly but slowly to the surface or else the expanding nitrogen gas can cause tiny bubbles in his blood and tissue to form together with joints pains and eventually cause decompression sickness needing medical attention.
Answer:
a) 4.2m/s
b) 5.0m/s
Explanation:
This problem is solved using the principle of conservation of linear momentum which states that in a closed system of colliding bodies, the sum of the total momenta before collision is equal to the sum of the total momenta after collision.
The problem is also an illustration of elastic collision where there is no loss in kinetic energy.
Equation (1) is a mathematical representation of the the principle of conservation of linear momentum for two colliding bodies of masses 
and 
whose respective velocities before collision are 
and 
;
where 
and 
are their respective velocities after collision.
Given;
Note that =0 because the second mass was at rest before the collision.
Also, since the two masses are equal, we can say that 
so that equation (1) is reduced as follows;
m cancels out of both sides of equation (2), and we obtain the following;
a) When 
, we obtain the following by equation(3)
b) As stops moving 
, therefore,
Answer: 5.9cm
Explanation:
15N/3cm=5
Convert 3kg to N (29.42N)
Use the 5 from earlier to divide 29.42/5=5.884
Round to 5.9
5.9cm is the answer
(I don’t know if I solved this the correct way but I got it right. 5.9 is the correct answer)
Answer:
Visible waves can be seen by people.
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves comprises of different kind of waves. It consists of cosmic waves, x-rays waves, gamma waves, ultra violet waves, visible waves, infrared waves, microwaves. Among these waves, depending upon the wavelength of each kind of waves, it is visible and invisible to naked eyes. Thus, visible waves are the one which can be seen by people in naked eyes. As the wavelength of these waves are in comparable to the eye sight, so it can be seen by people.
