However, the helmet vehicle interface (HVI) is not a component within the HDU.
32.
What causes the density of the atmosphere to rise and fall?
Correct Answer
C. Altitude
Explanation
The density of the atmosphere rises and falls due to changes in altitude. As altitude increases, the atmospheric pressure decreases, causing the air molecules to spread out and resulting in lower density. Conversely, at lower altitudes, the atmospheric pressure increases, causing the air molecules to compress and resulting in higher density. Therefore, altitude is the main factor that causes variations in the density of the atmosphere.
33.
The pressure exerted by the atmosphere at high altitudes is
Correct Answer
B. Greater near the surface of the earth
Explanation
The pressure exerted by the atmosphere at high altitudes is greater near the surface of the earth. This is because the weight of the air above exerts a force on the air below, creating higher pressure at lower altitudes. As altitude increases, the weight of the air above decreases, resulting in lower pressure. Therefore, the pressure is greatest near the surface of the earth and decreases as you move higher in altitude.
34.
How can a pilot relieve symptoms of decompression sickness (evolved gases)?
Correct Answer
A. Descend to a lower altitude
Explanation
If a pilot is experiencing symptoms of decompression sickness, descending to a lower altitude can help relieve these symptoms. Decompression sickness occurs when there is a rapid decrease in pressure, causing gases in the body to expand and form bubbles. By descending to a lower altitude, the pressure on the body decreases, allowing these bubbles to shrink and alleviate symptoms. This is a commonly recommended action for pilots who experience decompression sickness during flight.
35.
What is the maximum charge of a low-pressure storage cylinder?
