B) The decrease in atmospheric pressure relative to pressure inside the balloon causes it to expand.

Boyle said that, if temperature of ideal gas is kept constant then pressure and volume of ideal gas are inversely proportional to each other.

Pα1/V
Pressure decreases with elevation therefore volume of balloon increases.

A catapult launches a test rocket vertically upward from a well, giving the rocket an initial speed of 80.6 m/s at ground level.

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

44.64 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 4.2\times 1180+80.6^2}\\\Rightarrow v=128.01\ m/s$

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 128.01=80.6+4.2t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{128.01-80.6}{4.2}=11.29\ s$

Time taken to reach 1180 m is 11.29 seconds

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=128.01-9.8t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{128.01}{9.8}=13.06\ s$

Time the rocket will keep going up after the engines shut off is 13.06 seconds.

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-128.01^2}{2\times -9.8}\\\Rightarrow s=836.05\ m$

The distance the rocket will keep going up after the engines shut off is 836.05 m

Total distance traveled by the rocket in the upward direction is 1180+836.05 = 2016.05 m

The rocket will fall from this height

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 2016.05=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{2016.05\times 2}{9.8}}\\\Rightarrow t=20.29\ s$

Time taken by the rocket to fall from maximum height is 20.29 seconds

Time the rocket will stay in the air is 11.29+13.06+20.29 = 44.64 seconds

Which of the following statements about the nuclear strong force is true?

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer: 2, the nuclear strong force drops to practically nothing at large distances.

Explanation: The protons and neutrons in the nucleus share subatomic particles called pions. This exchange is what keeps the protons and neutrons stuck together in the nucleus. Despite the strong force being the strongest force, it has a very small range. This is because pions have very short lifespans. So, the strong force would have literally no effect at large distances.

Hope that helped! :)

Suppose a car approaches a hill and has an initial speed of

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

a) 1.73*10^5 J

b) 3645 N

Explanation:

106 km/h = 106 * 1000/3600 = 29.4 m/s

If KE = PE, then

mgh = 1/2mv²

gh = 1/2v²

h = v²/2g

h = 29.4² / 2 * 9.81

h = 864.36 / 19.62

h = 44.06 m

Loss of energy = mgΔh

E = 780 * 9.81 * (44.06 - 21.5)

E = 7651.8 * 22.56

E = 172624.6 J

Thus, the amount if energy lost is 1.73*10^5 J

Work done = Force * distance

Force = work done / distance

Force = 172624.6 / (21.5/sin27°)

Force = 172624.6 / 47.36

Force = 3645 N
