A scuba diver fills her lungs to capacity (6.0 L) when 10.0 m below the surface of the water and begins to ascend to the surface. Assume the density of the water in which she is swimming is 1000 kg/m3 and use g = 10 m/s2A. Assuming the temperature of the air in her lungs is constant, to what volume must her lungs expand when she reaches the surface of the water?B. What effect would the warming of the air in her lungs have on the volume needed when she surfaces?C. Assuming the temperature of the air in her lungs is constant, what effect does her ascent have on the vrms of the air molecules in her lungs?

Explanation:

As temperature is constant , we shall apply Boyle's law

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = pressure at depth of 10 m

= P + hdg , h = 10 , d = 10³ , g = 10

P is atmospheric pressure which is 10⁵ Pa

P₁ = 10⁵ + 10 x 10³ x 10

= 2 x 10⁵

applying the formula

2 x 10⁵ x 6 = 10⁵ x v

v = 2 x 6 = 12 L

volume will be doubled at the surface .

B )

warming of air at the surface will increase the volume of air in her lungs so so she will need more lung capacity .

C )

The rms value of a gas depends upon the temperature of the gas . As temperature of the gas is constant , the rms value of the gas particles will remain constant when she goes to the surface .

A cosmic year is 365.25 days, some times called a side real year and is just the time it takes for us to go round the sun once.

A light year is the distance light travels in a year. Now light travels at about 186,262 miles a Second! Which is not slow by any ones book.

An experiment was conducted just after Christmas a few years ago. Two girls were selected from the audience and went into two phone boxes a few feet apart. They could only hear each other via the phones. The phone call went to a ground station about 200 miles away, then up to a geostationary coms satellite, back to a ground station 1/3 of the way around the world, then repeated, with a third satellite before being sent from another ground station back to London and the other phone box. We the audience could hear both sides of the conversation from both boxes. And could hear the delay between sending and receiving. So even at the speed of light, there was about 1.5 seconds of delay. So because distances in space are so vast that saying a star is x millions of miles away causes problems, you run out of zero’s! So our nearest other star is about 4.5 light years away. Our sun (our nearest start) is about 8 light minuets away. Varies slightly as our orbit is not 100% cirular.

I HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL.
