- An aquatic organism needs to be neutrally buoyant to stay at a constant depth. Fish accomplish this with an internal swim bladder they can fill with air that they take in from the water through their gills. One complication is that the pressure in the swim bladder matches that of the surrounding water, but the water pressure changes with depth. Because the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to pressure (as you may already know if you have studied the ideal-gas law), the volume of air in a fish's swim bladder decreases with depth unless the fish actively adds more air. ▼ Part A Consider a 3.9 kg freshwater fish whose tissues have an average density of 1050 kg/m³. To what volume in mL must the swim bladder be inflated for the fish to be neutrally buoyant at the surface? Express your answer in milliliters to two significant figures.

What do you think will likely happen to you? Select one: The moving train could actually suck anybody closer to it. The moving train could be out of its way and will hit you. Greater pressure behind you will push you toward the moving train. Greater pressure between you and the train will pull you toward the train.arrow_forwardWhat is the cause of air pressure? Why does the pressure a fluid exerts on the walls of its container decrease when the fluid starts to flow through the container (e.g. a piece of tubing)? Why is it impossible to pull a fluid? What does it mean to "entrain a fluid" into a flow? When the gauge on a cylinder of gas reads zero, is the cylinder actually empty? Explain.arrow_forward
- If you decrease the volume of a gas to 1/2 its original volume, how much bigger or smaller is the pressure of the gas? If you increase the volume to 6 times its original volume, how much bigger or smaller will be the pressure of the gas?arrow_forwardYou fill a balloon with helium and let it go. It floats up into the air, where it is essentially floating in a pool of air. Why does the helium filled balloon float in air? Make sure you use the words ‘buoyancy’, ‘density’ and ‘volume of displaced ‘air’ in answering this question.arrow_forwardYou have a tube where water enters at a velocity of 10.0 m/s, ascends 5.0 m, and then exits. The pressure pushes the water in at 250 kPa, and is measured come out at 150 kPa. The outcoming water is, faster than the incoming water. slower than the incoming water. the same speed as the incoming water.arrow_forward
- 5) Submarines need to be extremely strong to withstand the extremely high pressure of water pushing down on them. An experimental research submarine with a volume of 15,000 liters has an internal pressure of 1.2 atm. If the pressure of the ocean breaks the submarine forming a bubble with a pressure of 250 atm pushing on it, how big will that bubble be?arrow_forwardWould the mass of air in the room be lower or higher if the tables, equipment etc. in the room were considered?
