What happens to the buoyant force of a submerged submarine when water is taken into its tanks and it dives?
Unless the flooding and buoyancy was controlled, the submarine would continue to dive into the depths, possibly to be crushed by the great pressure of water.
Is pressure lower at the bottom of a dam?
Density of water per unit volume ie. g/cm3 * depth of water (cm). Answer will be in g/sq cm. Density of water is approximately 1g / cm3 therefore pressure at the bottom of a dam wall with 1m of water = 0.1kg / sq cm. Note: this is only valid at the bottom of the wall, half way up the 1m of water the pressure would be 0.05kg / sq cm. At the very surface of the water, there would be no pressure. Thats why a finger in a dyke (dike) can hold back the North Sea!
Does volume stay the same no matter where you are?
No, volume is dependent on things such a temperature and pressure. Most things contract (have a smaller volume) when they are cold and expand (have a larger volume) when they are hot. Also, if you apply pressure to a solid or a gas, you may decrease the volume. This is what happens when you put air in your tires - at some point the tire cannot expand, so you have to use pressure to force more air into the same volume.If you were to dive down to the deepest part of the ocean, the pressure from all that water on top of you would crush you, and your volume would decrease.
Why is air pressure less at sea level and it's higher on a mountain top?
You have it backwards. Air pressure is the caused by the weight of the column of air pressing down on people or objects near the surface. Pressure is greatest at (or below sea level) and decreases with altitude (for the simple reason that the higher you climb, the less air is above you). Because water is about 1,000 times denser than air, the weight of air at sea level is about equal to 33 feet of water. This is why divers experience about one adtmosphere for every 33 feet they dive.
What part of a diver's body might be hurt during a deep dive and why is this so?
During the deep dive the divers body goes through immense pressure. The atmospheric pressure in the deep as one goes more deep it increases so the lungs of the diver has to do more work and also that if the diver comes up on surface faster ten the rate he went down then the helim would be formed in the lungs of diver which can be lethal.
Why are you having ear pain when you dive under the sea?
The deeper u go the more water pressure there is pushing in on your eardrums
In a deep dive a whale is appreciably compressed by the pressure of the surrounding water What happens to the whales density?
Its density increases.
Why scuba divers experience a higher pressure at the bottom of the sea than on the surface of the earth?
This is mainly do to the pressure that the water above the diver is putting on the diver. On the surface air is putting pressure on you but it has less weight than water and as you dive deeper the pressure increases because the amount of water above you also increases.
Why can a whale dive deeper than a submarine?
The whale is flexible. The submarine is not, and is therefore subject to crushing from the pressure.
Why is it dangerous for human dive deep into the ocean?
there is higher pressure the deeper you travel into the ocean. this pressure is detrimental to health. also breathing is an issue.
Can they dive deeper than another bird?
can they dive deeper than a nother bird? yes they can
In a deep dive a whale is appreciably compressed by the pressure of the surrounding water What happens to the whale's density?
The density increases..
Why is it that when diving in a lake the deeper the dive the cooler the water?
Its farther from the surface where the sun reflects.
Why is air pressure low on top Mount Everest?
Because the higher you go, the less amount of air is it above you, pushing down. Just like water pressure is no big deal at the Surface, but gets bigger the deeper you dive.
How do you swim deeper in the water when you are in wolf form in Zelda twilight princess?
you cant dive as a wolf
Why does your ears hurt when you dive deep under water?
This happens because the pressure in the water is much greater than the pressure inside your ear, so the air presses onto the cartilage flaps on the inside of your ear, and then, that's why it starts to hurt.
What happens to the air molecules in a divers lungs as the pressure increases during a dive?
As the diver descends deeper into the water, the pressure increases. This causes the air molecules in the diver's lungs to compress, leading to a decrease in volume. In order to maintain equilibrium with the increasing pressure, the air molecules in the lungs will be forced into smaller spaces, potentially causing discomfort or injury if not managed properly through controlled breathing techniques.
