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?

Answer:

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 .

The lungs will expand 12 L when she reaches the surface of the water, and the warming of the air results in more lung capacity, and [tex]\rm V_{rms}[/tex] the value remains the same.

What is Boyle's law?

According to the law, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas. In other words when the pressure of the gas increases the volume of the gas decreases.

We know the pressure at the 10 meters depth:

[tex]\rm P_1 = P+h\times \rho\times g[/tex]

Where P = Atmospheric pressure

            h = Depth

            ρ =Density of the water

We have: [tex]\rm P = 10^5 \ Pa[/tex], h = 10 meters, and [tex]\rm \rho = 1000 \ kg/m^3[/tex], and [tex]\rm g = 10 \ m/s^2[/tex]

Putting the values in the above equation, we get:

[tex]\rm P_1 = 10^5+ 10\times 1000\times 10[/tex]

[tex]\rm P_1 = 2\times 10^5[/tex]

From the Boyle's law:

[tex]\rm P_1\times V_1 = P_2\times V_2[/tex]

[tex]\rm 2\times10^5\times 6 = 10^5\times V_2[/tex]

[tex]\rm V_2 = 12 \ L[/tex]

We know that as the air at the surface warms, the volume of air in her lungs expands, requiring more lung capacity.

The temperature of the gas is constant and [tex]\rm V_{rms}[/tex] values for gas depend on the temperature of the gas, but here the temperature of the gas is constant thus, the  [tex]\rm V_{rms}[/tex] will remains constant.

Thus, the lungs will expand 12 L when she reaches the surface of the water, and the warming of the air results in more lung capacity, and [tex]\rm V_{rms}[/tex] the value remains the same.
