How does the density of the air change in the Cartesian Diver experiment?

As the "diver" descends, air density inside the diver's capsule increases as it is compressed.

What is a Cartesian Diver most known for?
The Cartesian Diver is actually a scientific experiment. It helps divers determine what amount of air is needed for descent and ascent so that neither is done too quickly which can cause death.
Would a candle tied to a paperclip work as a Cartesian diver?
The answer is no, because a Cartesian diver requires an air pocket that can be compressed. By compressing this air pocket the air molecules get closer together and change the density of the vessel that they are in. This causes it to sink. candles do not have air pockets, so there would be nothing to compress.
Why are Cartesian Diver called Cartesian divers?
cause of him
Why do free-divers sink at depth?
The cartesian diver sinks because the diver wants to get to a place of low pressure
How does pascals principle help explain the behavior of the cartesian diver?
Because when force is applied to a confined fluid, the change in pressure is transmitted equally to all parts of the fluid.
A Cartesian diver made from a plastic bottle filled with water and an inverted test tube partially filled with water What causes the diver to sink as the bottle is squeezed?
"The volume of air in the diver decreases."
How does pascal principle help explain the behavior of the cartesian diver?
because school is a good place to be for tony
If no friction acts on a diver during a dive?
More friction acts on a diver when they dive because of the increased density of the water.
The picture shows a Cartesian diver made from a plastic bottle filled with water and an inverted test tube partially filled with water. What causes the diver to sink as the bottle is squeezed?
The volume of air in the driver decrease.
Who is the french mathematician that invented Cartesian coordinate plane?
Rene Descartes, the surname means ( some charts or some maps) Descartes theorized than any equation can be expressed in graphical form, form follows family names! Descartes and the Cartesian idea became associated with the Cartesian diver, a toy deep-see diver that rises and falls owing to buoyancy and openings in the diver figure. It is probable this came along long after the death of M Descartes, but was bestowed in an honorary fashion- as were many of the (Inventions) of Leonardo Da Vinc i and closer to home, Franklin.
Does the density of the air in a bubble change as a bubble rises in water?
The density of air decreases as the bubble rises, since the bubble can increase in size as it rises. A scuba diver needs to release air from her lungs when rising from a depth for this reason. The density of air inside a Japanese fishing net float (a hollow glass sphere) would not change substantially. Changing its temperature would not change the density, only the pressure, since the same number of molecules are involved.
What force doesn't change when a sky diver opens his parachute?
Gravity doesn't change.
