Answer:

80 meters high

Explanation:

The velocity of the balloon would be g*t (I won't calculate, but will us this later)

We know that the kinetic energy at the bottom equals the potential at the top.

KE = PE

1/2 * m * v^2 = m * g * h

1/2 * m * (g * t)^2 = m * g * h (substitution)

1/2 * m * g^2 * t^2 = m * g * h

1/2 * g * t^2 = h (simplification by dividing the commons between both sides)

h = 1/2 * 9.81 * 4^2

h = 78.48 m (roughly 80 m)

An electrically neutral atom has 11 protons. How many electrons will it have orbiting around it’s nucleus?
Korolek [52]

Answer: 11 electrons.

Explanation:

Atoms in their neural state, that is, uncharged or non ionized state, always have the same number of protons and electrons.

When they ionized, they will either gain or lose electron or electrons which will eventually make them either positively charged or negatively charged.

Given that an electrically neutral atom has 11 protons. It will definitely has 11 electrons orbiting around it’s nucleus

A student makes a simple pendulum by attaching a mass to the free end of a 1.50-meter length of string suspended from the ceilin
Fofino [41]

Answer:

The mass has likely lost some of its mechanical energy to resistance on its path.

Explanation:

The mechanical energy of an object is the sum of its kinetic and potential energies (KE and PE.) Ideally, the mechanical energy of a simply pendulum should be "conserved." In other words, the sum of the kinetic and potential energy of the simply pendulum should stays the same as it travels along its path.

Indeed, as the pendulum travels, some of its PE will convert to KE and back. However, the sum of these two energies is supposed to stay the same.

  • When the pendulum moves from the highest point to the bottom of the path, some of its PE converts to KE. (The pendulum speeds up in this process.)
  • When the pendulum moves from the bottom of its path to the opposite side, its KE is converted back to PE. (The pendulum slows down as it moves towards the other side of the path.)

However, in practice, the mechanical energy of pendulums isn't always conserved. For example, various kinds of resistances (such as air resistance) act on the pendulum as it moves. That would slow down the pendulum. Some of the pendulum's energies would be converted to heat and is lost to the surroundings.

In effect, the mechanical energy of the pendulum would become smaller and smaller over time. When the pendulum travels back towards the girl, its potential energy would be smaller than the initial value when at the girl's chin.

A basketball has a mass of 601 g. Moving to the right and heading downward at an angle of 29 degree to the vertical, it hits the
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Change in momentum, \Delta p=6.3\ kg-m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the basketball, m = 601 g = 0.601 kg

The basketball makes an angle of 29 degrees to the vertical, it hits the floor with a speed, v = 6 m/s

It bounces up with the same speed, again moving to the right at an angle of 29 degree to the vertical. We need to find the change in momentum. It is given by :

\Delta p=mv\ cos\theta-(-mv\ cos\theta)

\Delta p=2mv\ cos\theta

\Delta p=2\times 0.601\times 6\times \ cos(29)

\Delta p=6.3\ kg-m/s

So, the change in momentum of the basketball is 6.3 kg-m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
