Density and Pressure 1 QP-2

The document contains questions about pressure and gas bubbles for a diver. It asks the student to: 1) State the equation for pressure as a function of depth, density and gravity and use it to calculate the pressure increase at 11m depth. 2) Explain why gas bubbles released by a diver breathing out increase in volume as they rise to the surface. 3) Calculate the total pressure on the diver at 11m depth given atmospheric pressure of 101kPa.

(b) (i) State the equation linking pressure difference, depth, density and g.

(1)

(ii) Calculate the increase in pressure when the diver descends from the surface
to a depth of 11 m.
(2)

increase in pressure = ......................................... kPa

(iii) Calculate the total pressure on the diver at a depth of 11 m.


Assume that the atmospheric pressure remains at 101 kPa.
(1)

total pressure = ......................................... kPa

(c) As the diver breathes out, bubbles of gas are released and rise to the surface.
The bubbles increase in volume as they rise.
Explain this increase in volume.
(2)
