At a hot air balloon race, a person on the ground shots a ball of confetti from a cannon to start the race. One of the balloons

is rising with a constant speed of 11m/s. The confetti ball is shot completely verically with an initial speed of 18m/s. a) how much time will it take for the ball and balloon to meet? b) where, above the ground, will the ball reach the balloon?

Answer:

a) The balloon and the ball will meet after 1.43 s.

b) The ball will reach the balloon at 15.7 m above the ground.

Explanation:

The height of the confetti ball is given by the following equation:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Where:

y = height of the ball at time t

y0 = initial height

v0 = initial velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

The height of the ball is given by this equation:

y = y0 + v · t

Where v is the constant velocity.

When the ball and the ballon meet, both heights are equal. Let´s consider the ground as the origin of the frame of reference so that y0 = 0:

y balloon = y ball

y0 + v · t = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²                  (y0 = 0)

11 m/s · t = 18 m/s · t -1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t² + 18 m/s · t - 11 m/s · t

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t²  + 7 m/s · t

0 = t( -4.9 m/s² · t  + 7 m/s)

t = 0 and

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t  + 7 m/s

-7 m/s / - 4.9 m/s² = t

t = 1.43 s

They will meet after 1.43 s

b) Now let´s calculate the height of the balloon after 1.43 s

y = v · t

y = 11 m/s · 1.43 s = 15.7 m

The ball will reach the balloon at 15.7 m above the ground.

If you wanted to estimate how much money a certain appliance costs you, how would you do it?
serious [3.7K]

Interesting question.

There are a number of factors that may attribute to the pricing of an item say quality of material, number of special features available, and certainly a common notion of brand value (e.g H&M vs GUCCI). Of course, it does not necessarily mean more face value = more expensive.

Typically, to estimate, I would check the brand and material component.

What factors determine the magnitude of the electric force between two particles ?
svp [43]
The electric force between the two particles are calculated through the equation,
 
                          F = kQ₁Q₂ / d²

where F is the force, k is a constant called Coulomb's law constant, Q₁ and Q₂ are the charges, and d is the distance. This equation is called the Coulomb's law. 

It can be seen from the equation above that the electric forces between the objects are majorly affected by the substance's charges and distance. 

The answer to this item is therefore letter A.

According to Kepler's Third Law, a solar-system planet that has an orbital radius of 4 AU would have an orbital period of about
NARA [144]

Answer:

Orbital period, T = 1.00074 years

Explanation:

It is given that,

Orbital radius of a solar system planet, r=4\ AU=1.496\times 10^{11}\ m

The orbital period of the planet can be calculated using third law of Kepler's. It is as follows :

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}r^3

M is the mass of the sun

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}\times (1.496\times 10^{11})^3    

T^2=\sqrt{9.96\times 10^{14}}\ s

T = 31559467.6761 s

T = 1.00074 years

So, a solar-system planet that has an orbital radius of 4 AU would have an orbital period of about 1.00074 years.

A 30-mm-diameter copper rod is 1 m long with a yield strength of 70 MPa. Determine the axial force necessary to cause the diamet
ivolga24 [154]

Explanation:

Given data:

d = 30 mm = 0.03 m

L = 1m

S_{y} = 70 Mpa

Δd = -0.0001d

Axial force = ?

validity of elastic deformation assumption.

Solution:

O'₂ = Δd/d = (-0.0001d)/d = -0.0001

For copper,

v = 0.326      E = 119×10³ Mpa

O'₁ = O'₂/v = (-0.0001)/0.326 = 306×10⁶

∵δ = F.L/E.A    and σ = F/A so,

σ = δ.E/L = O'₁ .E = (306×10⁻⁶).(119×10³) = 36.5 MPa

F = σ . A = (36.5 × 10⁻⁶) . (π/4 × (0.03)²) = 25800 KN

S_{y} = 70 MPa > σ = 36.5 MPa

∵ elastic deformation assumption is valid.

so the answer is

F = 25800 K N            and     S_{y} > σ
