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.
Answer:
Change in momentum is 1.1275 kg-m/s
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of the ball, m = 274 g = 0.274 kg
It hits the floor and rebounds upwards.
The ball hits the floor with a speed of 2.40 m/s i.e. u = -2.40 m/s (-ve because the ball hits the ground)
It rebounds with a speed of 1.7 m/s i.e. v = 1.7 m/s (+ve because the ball rebounds in upward direction)
We have to find the change in the ball's momentum. It is given by :
So, the change in the momentum is 1.1275 kg-m/s
