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 2000 kg roller coaster is at the top of a loop with a radius of 24 m. If its speed is 18 m/s at this point, what force does it

levacccp [35]

Answer:

$46620\ \text{N}$

Explanation:

m = Mass of roller coaster = 2000 kg

r = Radius of loop = 24 m

v = Velocity of roller coaster = 18 m/s

g = Acceleration due to gravity = $9.81\ \text{m/s}^2$

Normal force at the point will be

$N-mg=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow N=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}+mg\\\Rightarrow N=\dfrac{2000\times 18^2}{24}+2000\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow N=46620\ \text{N}$

The force exerted on the track is $46620\ \text{N}$ .

Complete Question:

The elastic energy stored in your tendons can contribute up to 35 % of your energy needs when running. Sports scientists have studied the change in length of the knee extensor tendon in sprinters and nonathletes. They find (on average) that the sprinters' tendons stretch 43 mm , while nonathletes' stretch only 32 mm . The spring constant for the tendon is the same for both groups, $31 {\rm {N}/{mm}}$ . What is the difference in maximum stored energy between the sprinters and the nonathlethes?

Answer:

$\triangle E = 12.79 J$

Explanation:

Sprinters' tendons stretch, $x_s = 43 mm = 0.043 m$

Non athletes' stretch, $x_n = 32 mm = 0.032 m$

Spring constant for the two groups, k = 31 N/mm = 3100 N/m

Maximum Energy stored in the sprinter, $E_s = 0.5kx_s^2$

Maximum energy stored in the non athletes, $E_m = 0.5kx_n^2$

Difference in maximum stored energy between the sprinters and the non-athlethes:

$\triangle E = E_s - E_n = 0.5k(x_s^2 - x_n^2)\\\triangle E = 0.5*3100* (0.043^2 - 0.032^2)\\\triangle E = 0.5*31000*0.000825\\\triangle E = 12.79 J$

List 5 reason why water is not thermometric liquid

kolezko [41]

Answer:

(1) it is transparent so it makes the reading difficult. (2) it is volatile. (3) it is a poor conductor of heat. (4) it has a higher specific heat capacity, so it absorbs more heat from the body with which it is kept in contact. (5) Water cannot be used in thermometer because of its higher freezing point and lower boiling point than other liquids . If water is used in a thermometer , it will start phase change at 0oC and 100oC and will not measure temperature , out of this range .
