Hot air balloon A is rising upward a rate of 5.0 m/s. A passenger aboard balloon A observes balloon B rising upward at a relativ

e rate of 7.5 m/s. What is the velocity of balloon B relative to the ground? Assume that up is positive.

Velocity B (relative to the A) = Velocity B (relative to the ground) - Velocity A (relative to the ground)

Velocity B (relative to the ground) = Velocity B (relative to the A) + Velocity A (relative to the ground)

Velocity B (relative to the ground) = 7.5 + 5 = 12 m/s

Since both go up in the same direction, we should use the minus sign for relative velocity.

Would water molecules in Venus’ atmosphere, whose temperature is 740 K, escape into outer space? A water molecule has a mass tha
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

The water molecule cannot escape, since the average velocity of the water molecules is less than one sixth of the escape velocity of venus.

Explanation:

The average speed of gas molecules is given by:

v_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}

R is the gas constant, T is the temperature and M the molar mass of the gas.

We know that a water molecule has a mass that is 18 times that of a hydrogen atom:

M_H=1.01*10^{-3}\frac{kg}{mol}\\M_{H2O}=18M_H=0.02\frac{kg}{mol}

So, we have:

v_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3(8.314\frac{J}{mol \cdot K})740K}{0.02\frac{kg}{mol}}}\\v_{rms}=960.65\frac{m}{s}*\frac{1km}{1000m}=0.96\frac{km}{s}

The water molecule cannot escape, since the average velocity of the water molecules is less than one sixth of the escape velocity of venus:

10\frac{km}{s}*\frac{1}{6}=1.6\frac{km}{s}\\0.96\frac{km}{s}

Due to efficiency considerations related to its bow wake, the supersonic transport aircraft must maintain a cruising speed that
givi [52]

Answer:

decreases.

Explanation:

When the aircraft is flies from the warm air into the  colder air then its speed will be decreases.

as we know that

we know mach number is constant  

so that here Mach number M is expressed as  

M = \frac{u}{v}      .............................1

here u is  Local flow velocity with respect to the boundarie and v is the speed of sound in the medium

If the aircraft flies from hot air to cold air, the speed of sound in the medium will decrease. But the Mach number remains constant. Therefore, the local flow velocity relative to the boundaries also decreases.
