Bubble Hydrodynamics: Find Numerical Solution to Air Bubble at 20m Depth

AI Thread Summary
At a depth of 20 m, an air bubble with a volume of 1 liter will experience decreasing pressure as it rises, causing its volume to increase according to the ideal gas law (P1V1 = P2V2). The buoyant force acting on the bubble, which depends on the volume of displaced water, increases as the bubble ascends, leading to an increase in its velocity. To calculate the bubble's velocity and acceleration, the net force must be considered, primarily the weight of the displaced water, as the weight of the bubble itself is negligible. The discussion emphasizes the need for numerical methods to determine these values accurately. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for predicting the bubble's behavior as it moves towards the surface.

Diver at a depth of 20 m below the water breaths 1 liter of air. With what acceleration the air bubble begins to move against the surface ,how his speed varies with time and what is its volume at a depth of 5 m? The water temperature is 20° C. Part of a solution will be need to find numerically.

Thanks in advance

As the bubble rises, pressure on it decreases. Volume increases.
Bouncy force on the bubble depends on the displaced liquid. As bubble rises volume increases, bouncy force increases. Hence the velocity of the bubble increases.
Since temperature of the water remains constant, you can find the volume at 5 m by using P1V1 = P2V2. Here P1 and P2 are the total pressure at 20m and 5 m.
 
But, how do you get velocity of a bubble?
 
Nobody knows how you get a velocity and acceleration of a bubble?
 
Part of a solution will be need to find numerically

So they are not expecting the values of velocity and accceleration.
If you want you can find out, net force on the bubble is the weight of the displaced water which is not constant. Weight of the bubble is negligible compared to the weight of the displaced liquid. You can find the weight of the bubble at the depth of 5 m by knowing the volume and density of the air at 20 degree C. Now see whether you can proceed.
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'
Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
