Caleb is filling up water balloons for the Physics Olympics balloon tosscompetition. Caleb sets a 0.50-kg spherical water balloo

n on the kitchen tableand notices that the bottom of the balloon flattens until the pressure on thebottom is reduced to 630 N/m². a) What is the area of the flat spot on thebottom of the balloon? b) What is the radius of the flat spot?

a)

• P = F/A

P = pressure = 630 N/m^2

F = force

A = area

F = mg = 0.50 kg x 9.8 m/s^2 = 4.9 N

m= mass

g= gravity

P = F/A

A = F/P

A = 4.9 N / 630 N/m^2 = 7.778 x 10^-3 m^2

b)

• Area of a circle = pi* radius ^2

7.778 x 10^-3 m^2 = pi* radius ^2

√(7.778 x 10^-3 m^2 / pi ) = radius

radius = 0.04976 m

Answers:

a ) 7.778 x 10^-3 m^2

b) 0.04976 m

A 124-kg balloon carrying a 22-kg basket is descending with a constant downward velocity of 20.0 m/ s. A I.O-kg stone is thrown

nadya68 [22]

(a) 296.6 m

The motion of the stone is the motion of a projectile, thrown with a horizontal speed of

$v_x = 15.0 m/s$

and with an initial vertical velocity of

$v_{y0} = -20.0 m/s$

where we have put a negative sign to indicate that the direction is downward.

The vertical position of the stone at time t is given by

$y(t) = h + v_{0y} t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$ (1)

where

h is the initial height

g = -9.81 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

The stone hits the ground after a time t = 6.00 s, so at this time the vertical position is zero:

y(6.00 s) = 0

Substituting into eq.(1), we can solve to find the initial height of the stone, h:

$0 = h + v_{0y} y + \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\h = -v_{0y} y - \frac{1}{2}gt^2=-(-20.0 m/s)(6.00 s) - \frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(6.00 s)^2=296.6 m$

(b) 176.6 m

The balloon is moving downward with a constant vertical speed of

$v_y = -20 m/s$

So the vertical position of the balloon after a time t is

$y(t) = h + v_y t$

and substituting t = 6.0 s and h = 296.6 m, we find the height of the balloon when the rock hits the ground:

$y(t) = 296.6 m + (-20.0 m)(6.00 s)=176.6 m$

(c) 198.2 m

In order to find how far is the rock from the balloon when it hits the ground, we need to find the horizontal distance covered by the rock during the time of the fall.

The horizontal speed of the rock is

$v_x = 15.0 m/s$

So the horizontal distance travelled in t = 6.00 s is

$d_x = v_x t = (15.0 m/s)(6.00 s)=90 m$

Considering also that the vertical height of the balloon after t=6.00 s is

$d_y = 176.6 m$

The distance between the balloon and the rock can be found by using Pythagorean theorem:

$d=\sqrt{(90 m)^2+(176.6 m)^2}=198.2 m$

(di) 15.0 m/s, -58.8 m/s

For an observer at rest in the basket, the rock is moving horizontally with a velocity of

$v_x = 15.0 m/s$

Instead, the vertical velocity of the rock for an observer at rest in the basket is

$v_y (t) = gt$

Substituting time t=6.00 s, we find

$v_y = (-9.8 m/s)(6.00 s)=-58.8 m/s$

(dii) 15.0 m/s, -78.8 m/s

For an observer at rest on the ground, the rock is still moving horizontally with a velocity of

$v_x = 15.0 m/s$

Instead, the vertical velocity of the rock for an observer on the ground is now given by

$v_y (t) = v_{0y} + gt$

Substituting time t=6.00 s, we find

$v_y = (-20.0 m/s)+(-9.8 m/s)(6.00 s)=-78.8 m/s$

What is an intraplate quake? What causes them?

intraplate earthquake<span> occurs in the interior of a </span>tectonic plate, basically its a lower version of an earth quake but just less damage. The cause of them is the two tectonic plate hitting each other or i should say sliding togather.

Unpolarized light with intensity I0I0I_0 is incident on an ideal polarizing filter. The emerging light strikes a second ideal po

zvonat [6]

Answer:

$0.293I_0$

Explanation:

When the unpolarized light passes through the first polarizer, only the component of the light parallel to the axis of the polarizer passes through.

Therefore, after the first polarizer, the intensity of light passing through it is halved, so the intensity after the first polarizer is:

$I_1=\frac{I_0}{2}$

Then, the light passes through the second polarizer. In this case, the intensity of the light passing through the 2nd polarizer is given by Malus' law:

$I_2=I_1 cos^2 \theta$

where

$\theta$ is the angle between the axes of the two polarizer

Here we have

$\theta=40^{\circ}$

So the intensity after the 2nd polarizer is

$I_2=I_1 (cos 40^{\circ})^2=0.587I_1$

And substituting the expression for I1, we find:

$I_2=0.587 (\frac{I_0}{2})=0.293I_0$

A Cessna aircraft has a lift off speed of 147 km/h. What minimum constant acceleration does this require if the aircraft is to b

netineya [11]

Answer:

The acceleration is $a =51945 \ km/h^2$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The lift up speed is $v = 147 \ km/h$

The distance covered for the take off run is $s = 208 m = 0.208 \ km$

Generally from kinematic equation we have that

$v^2 = u^2 + 2as$

Here u is the initial speed of the aircraft with value 0 m/ s give that the aircraft started from rest

So

$147^2 = 0^2 + 2* a* 0.208$

=> $a =51945 \ km/h^2$
