Find the minimum radius of a helium balloon that will lift her off the ground. the density of helium gas is 0.178 kg/m3, and the

marysya [2.9K]

$Volume of balloon = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

Where r is the radius of balloon.

Here mass of woman = 68 kg

Mass of air displaced by a balloon with volume V = 1.29*V

Mass of helium inside balloon = 0.178*V

Total mass to be lifted by balloon = 68 +0.178*V

Buoyant force = 1.29V-0.178V=1.112V

So we have 1.112 V = 68+ 0.178*V

0.934 V = 68

V = 72.81 $m^3$

\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}[/tex]= 72.81

r = 2.59 m

So radius of helium balloon = 2.59 m

What is the length a rubberband was stretched if it has a spring constant of 5700N/m and is currently holding 8600J OF POTENTIAL

lozanna [386]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \Delta x=1.74\ m$

Explanation:

<u>Elastic Potential Energy </u>

Is the energy stored in an elastic material like a spring of constant k, in which case the energy is proportional to the square of the change of length Δx and the constant k.

$\displaystyle PE = \frac{1}{2}k(\Delta x)^2$

Given a rubber band of a spring constant of k=5700 N/m that is holding potential energy of PE=8600 J, it's required to find the change of length under these conditions.

Solving for Δx:

$\displaystyle \Delta x=\swrt{\frac{2PE}{k}}$

Substituting:

$\displaystyle \Delta x=\sqrt{\frac{2*8600}{5700}}$

Calculating:

$\displaystyle \Delta x=\sqrt{3.0175}$

$\boxed{\displaystyle \Delta x=1.74\ m}$

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

As we keep on increasing the radius the value of the gravitation force of attraction decreases and as we decrease the radius the gravitation force increases.

Explanation:

Like the coulombs law of electrostatics, the law of gravitation also depends inversely on the square of the value of r. Therefore, as we keep on increasing the value of r the value of the gravitation force decreases and as we decrease the value of the r the value of gravitation force increases.

Gravitation Force= $\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2} }{r^{2}}$

Coulombs's Law= $\frac{Kq_{1}q_{2} }{r^{2}}$
