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.

You observe that a mass suspended by a spring takes 0.25 s to make a full oscillation. What is the frequency of this oscillation

Katarina [22]

Answer:

Frequency of oscillation, f = 4 Hz

time period, T = 0.25 s

Angular frequency, $\omega = 25.13 rad/s$

Given:

Time taken to make one oscillation, T = 0.25 s

Solution:

Frequency, f of oscillation is given as the reciprocal of time taken for one oscillation and is given by:

f = $\frac{1}{T}$

f = $\frac{1}{0.25}$

Frequency of oscillation, f = 4 Hz

The period of oscillation can be defined as the time taken by the suspended mass for completion of one oscillation.

Therefore, time period, T = 0.25 s

Angular frequency of oscillation is given by:

$\omega = 2\pi \times f$

$\omega = 2\pi \times 4$

$\omega = 25.13 rad/s$

Suppose the earth is shaped as a sphere with radius 4,0004,000 miles and suppose it rotates once every 24 hours. How many miles

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

1047 miles

Explanation:

The radius of the Earth is

$r = 4000$ (miles)

So its circumference, which is the total length of the equator, is given by

$L=2\pi r= 2\pi(4000)=25133 mi$

Now we know that the Earth rotates once every 24 hours. So the distance through which the equator moves in one hour is equal to its total length divided by the number of hours, 24:

$L' = \frac{25133 mi}{24h}=1047 mi$

What is the change in thermal energy E if the coefficent of kinetic friction between the box and floor is .4 , the distance the

Jet001 [13]

This question can be solved using the concept of friction energy.

The thermal energy change is b "258.4 J".

The change in thermal energy will be equal to the friction energy produced during the motion of the box.

$Change\ In\ Thermal\ Energy = E = Friction\ Energy\\\\E = \mu fd$

where,

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.4

f = force applied = 38 N

d = distance traveled by the box = 17 m

Therefore,

$E = (0.4)(38\ N)(17\ m)$

You can comfortably hold your fingers close beside a candle flame, but not very close above the flame. why? challenge (optional)

Inessa05 [86]

The candle flame releases hot gases, which directly go in upwards directions. Due to which the air near the flame of the candle is very hot and dense. The particles along with vapour move up. And since the sideways, the air is not very dense and hot, we are able to hold the candle. In anti-gravity region, there will be no density differences and also, the convection process wont occur. So, the candle quickly snuffs off.
