What else can I help you with?
How much oxygen was stored on the Apollo 14 spacecraft?
The Apollo 14 spacecraft carried around 16 pounds of oxygen in the form of lithium hydroxide canisters to scrub carbon dioxide from the spacecraft's air supply. Additionally, the crew had personal emergency oxygen masks for use in case of a cabin depressurization event.
What did astronauts use to breathe in outer space?
Astronauts wear spacesuits that are equipped with a life support system, which includes an oxygen supply for breathing. This system provides them with a controlled environment to breathe while they are in the vacuum of space.
Why can't we see the stars when we are facing the sun?
Sunlight scattered by the atmosphere masks the much dimmer light from the stars.
What would happen if you tried to light matches in the International Space Station?
Think. When you light a match. fire occurs. For fire to breath it needs oxygen(air).Is there oxygen in the International Space Station? Is the International Space Station in space? Is there air in Space? If you look at the pictures of the interior if the ISS, the astronauts do not wear oxtgen masks, so yes, there must be oxygen in the ISS, and therefore matches should light. What i want to know is that because of the lack of gravity, does the flame extend in all directions, or does the hot air (i.e. flame) still rise as on earth?
What kind of equipment would you need on a space trip to Saturn?
F.O.R.B.: fuel, oxygen, radio, batteries PLUS: -vizier's -thermal suits -gas masks, -and other necessary space travel materials. hope this helps!
Explain why militarry pilots must wear masks that provide oxygen when flying at high altitudes.?
Military pilots must wear oxygen masks at high altitudes because the air pressure decreases, leading to insufficient oxygen levels for normal breathing. At altitudes above 10,000 feet, the reduced oxygen can cause hypoxia, impairing cognitive and physical functions. The masks supply supplemental oxygen, ensuring pilots maintain optimal performance and safety during flight operations in challenging environments. Additionally, the masks protect against cabin depressurization and other emergencies.
How do airplanes protect people from the decreased air pressure when flying at high elevations?
When flying at hight altitudes (+12,000FT) planes pressurize the cabin so passengers can stay conscious without wearing oxygen masks.
Why do you have oxygen masks on airplanes?
On airliners its because you're flying at very high altitudes which means there is very little oxygen and if one of the windows are broken that air will come so if you don't have the oxygen masks you'll die from lack of oxygen in case of an emergency like there is a gas leak, or there are toxic fumes released into the air, or if the plane is about to crash and people start to panic
What precautions do pilots have to take if they fly above 45000 m?
Precautions when flying at high altitudes would be a pressure suit and oxygen /masks. But civilian flights do not ascend over 43,000 feet in the US.
Why does mountain climber need oxygen mask?
Mountain climbers need oxygen masks at high altitudes because the air becomes thinner and contains less oxygen, leading to hypoxia which can result in dizziness, shortness of breath, confusion, and even death. Oxygen masks help climbers supplement the oxygen they need to maintain proper breathing and prevent altitude sickness.
Why are airplanes pressurised?
Modern airliners and aircraft that fly above 15,000 feet are required to be pressurized because the oxygen levels at such high altitudes are not sufficient for the human body's needs. If much time is spent above these altitudes without pressurization or supplemental oxygen, hypoxia can result. The symptoms of hypoxia, or a lack of oxygen in the bloodstream, include nausea, discoloration, disorientation, and severe headaches. Not all airplanes are pressurized, however. Pressurization is limited to airliners, private jets, expensive personal aircaft, and high-altitude military aircraft. An alternative to pressurization is supplemental oxygen masks connected to oxygen tanks somewhere in the aircraft. Pilots are required to wear oxygen masks when flying above 12,500 feet for any longer than 30 minutes. At 14,000 feet, pilots are required to use supplemental oxygen at all times. At 15,000 feet, everyone on board must have supplemental oxygen.
What air is in hospital breathing masks?
oxygen
How pollutants decrease the diffusion of oxygen in the lungs?
by gas masks and oxygen packs.
How do passengers on an airplane survive the extremely low air pressure at high altitudes?
In short they don't. Small light unpressurised aircraft fly relatively low, so the air pressure is acceptable. Large aircraft (heavy jets etc) use a pressurised hull, air is pumped into the cabin which is kept at an acceptable density. This is why you hear about explosive decompression, and why aircraft flying at high altitude have oxygen masks which drop from the cabin roof for each passenger in the event of decompression. Without them you would die of oxygen starvation.
Give one use of oxygen?
For oxygen masks for firefighters, scuba divers etc
How oxygen is available in aircraft?
Oxygen is available in emergency overhead masks in passenger aircraft
Did they have oxygen masks in 1806?
No, oxygen masks as we know them today did not exist in 1806. The concept of providing supplemental oxygen for medical or aviation use was not developed until much later, with significant advancements occurring in the 20th century. Early forms of breathing apparatus were rudimentary and primarily used for mining or firefighting, but they were not specifically designed as oxygen masks.
