1) If an object is neutrally buoyant (does not sink or float)
in fresh water, the same object placed into salt water
would
A sink.
B either sink or float.
C do nothing.
D float. - Answer-D float.
Salt water is heavier than fresh water because it has
dissolved minerals in it. This means it causes more
upward force (buoyancy) on an object. An object that is
neutrally buoyant in fresh water would float in salt water
because there is greater upward force.

2) I blow up a balloon, tie it off, and take it to the bottom of
the swimming pool. What will happen to the balloon and
the air inside it?
A The balloon will get bigger and the air inside the balloon
will be less dense (molecules move further apart).
B The balloon will get smaller and the air inside the
balloon will be more dense (molecules move closer
together).
C The balloon will get bigger and the air inside the balloon
will be more dense.
D The balloon will get smaller and the air inside the
balloon will be less dense. - Answer-B The balloon will get
smaller and the air inside the balloon will be more dense
(molecules move closer together).
As water pressure increases, the volume of an air space
will decrease. This causes the density of the air inside to
increase and air molecules are pushed closer together.
The balloon would get smaller and the air density inside
would be greater.

3) I turn a glass upside down, trap the air in it by putting it
in water, and then I take the glass down to 10 meters. The
air space would
A become half the size it was at the surface.
B not change in size.
C become 1/3 the size it was at the surface.
D become 2/3 the size it was at the surface. - Answer-A
become half the size it was at the surface.
At 10 meters, the pressure is 2 bar. An air volume taken to
this depth from the surface would decrease and become
half the size.

Effects.
4) If I am not able to equalize (clear) my body air spaces, it
may be because I have
A seasickness.

B heart disease and high blood pressure.
C a cold, allergy or another medical problem.
D anxiety. - Answer-C A cold, allergy or another medical
problem.
A cold, or any congestion, can block air passages in your
ears and sinuses, making equalization difficult or
impossible.
See Being a Diver I - The Effects of Increasing Pressure
on Body Air Spaces.
5) If my ears or sinuses hurt while I am descending (going
down), it usually means
A my air spaces are equalized.
B my mask strap is too tight.
C I am feeling a squeeze and need to equalize.
D my mask is too small. - Answer-C I am feeling a
squeeze and need to equalize.
