What dangers would divers face if they descended quickly to a great depth

Physics
1 answer:
pickupchik [31]2 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

If a diver ascends too quickly, the nitrogen gas in his body will expand at such a rate that he is unable to eliminate it efficiently, and the nitrogen will form small bubbles in his tissues. This is known as decompression sickness, and can be very painful, lead to tissue death, and even be life threatening.

If an automobile engine delivers 42.0 hp of power, how much time will it take for the engine to do 6.20 â 105 j of work? (hint:
Elena L [17]
To be able to answer this item, we are to calculate the power that the machine could deliver from hp to kW. 

      (45 hp)(746 W/1 hp) = 33570 W

Power is the amount of energy delivered at a certain period. 

             t = (6.20 x 10^2 J)/ (33570 kJ/s)

             t = 0.01845 s

What is the fault-current circuit breaker? Describe its function.
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

A circuit breaker is a switching mechanism that interrupts the current that is irregular or fault. It is a mechanical system that interferes with high magnitude (fault) current flow and also performs a transfer operation. Hope this helps :)

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

88.8 m/s= Speed of wave propagation in the required mode.(3 loops)

Explanation:

When there are 3 loops.  

the total length = L = 3 λ /2

⇒ λ  = 2 L / 3 = 2 ( 1.11 ) / 3 = 0.74 m

Velocity = v = f λ = (120)(0.74) = 88.8 m/s

A large refrigerator (mass 80kg) sits at rest inside a house. The homeowner wants to move the refrigerator across the room, so s
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

400 N

Explanation:

By the law of friction,

F=\mu R

F is the maximum frictional force, \mu is the coefficient of friction and R is the reaction on the refrigerator. On a horizontal surface, the reaction is equal to the weight of the refrigerator.

R=mg

F=\mu mg

While not moving, the fricition on the refrigerator is static friction. So, \mu=0.65

F=0.65 \times80\times9.8=509.6 \text{ N}

This is the maximum frictional force and is more than the applied horizontal force of 400 N. Frictional force cannot be more than the applied force, else it would actually pull the refrigerator backwards (a strange thing, if it were to happen). It is equal to the extent of the applied force because the applied force is not enough to overcome the maximum.

Hence the frictional force is 400 N.

PS: Note that we do not use the coefficient of kinetic friction because applied force could not overcome the static friction.
