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."
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.
Why do free-divers sink at depth?
The cartesian diver sinks because the diver wants to get to a place of low pressure
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.
What helps a scuba diver sink and float?
Scuba buoyancy is the most fundamental diving skill. Mastering buoyancy control enables a diver to use less effort to maintain his position while diving.
How do you make the buoy is sink in a bottle of water?
Pour the water out
What causes a ships iron anchor to sink to the ocean?
Gravity causes the ships iron anchor to sink to the ocean.
Explain the advantages of being neutrally buoyant when you are a scuba diver.?
You do not float to the surface nor do you sink- you stay at the level you swim to.
Why do deep sea diver wear boots made of lead?
Lead has a high density which means that the divers can sink quicker.
Why do deep-sea diver wear boots made of lead?
Lead has a high density which means that the divers can sink quicker.
How can you make a bottle float then sink then float?
A bottle, though heavier than water, can be made to float by trapping air inside of it. This same bottle can be made to sink by filling it with water, or a substance heavier than water. It can again float by emptying it and trapping air in it.
Does the size of the bottle affects how much you have to squeeze to get the packet to sink?
Yes
