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.

How did astronomers precisely determine the length of an Astronomical Unit in the 1960s?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

Use of telemetry and radar astronomy

Explanation:

An astronomical Unit (AU) is a unit of measuring distances in outer space, which is based on the approximate distance between the earth and the Sun.

After several years of trying to approximate the distance between the Sun and the Earth using several methods based on geometry and some other calculations, advancements in technology made available the presence of special motoring equipment, which can be placed in outer space to remotely monitor and measure the position of the sun.

The use of direct radar measurements to the sun (radar astronomy) have also made the determination of the AU more accurate.

A standard radar pulse of known speed is sent to the Sun, and the time with which it takes to return is measured,  once this is recorded, the distance between the Earth and the Sun can be calculated using

distance = speed X time.

However, most of these means have to be corrected for parallax errors

Jessica stretches her arms out 0.60 m from the center of her body while holding a 2.0 kg mass in each hand. She then spins aroun
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

a.) L = 2.64 kgm^2/s

b.) V = 4.4 m/s

Explanation: Jessica stretches her arms out 0.60 m from the center of her body. This will be considered as radius.

So,

Radius r = 0.6 m

Mass M = 2 kg

Velocity V = 1.1 m/s

Angular momentum L can be expressed as;

L = MVr

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

L = 2 × 1.1 × 0.6 = 1.32kgm^2s^-1

the combined angular momentum of the masses will be 2 × 1.32 = 2.64 kgm^2s-1

b. If she pulls her arms into 0.15 m,

New radius = 0.15 m

Using the same formula again

L = 2( MVr)

2.64 = 2( 2 × V × 0.15 )

1.32 = 0.3 V

V = 1.32/0.3

V = 4.4 m/s

Her new linear speed will be 4.4 m/s

A force of 10 n acts on a mass of 5 kg producing an acceleration of 1.5 m/s2 what is the magnitude of the force of friction acti
prisoha [69]
The friction is 2.5N. The Net force is 10 N - 2.5 N .= 7.5 N.
acceleration = 7.5 / 5 = 1.5 m/s^2

How much would a 75kg man weigh due to the effect of gravity
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer: 735 N

Explanation:

Weight W is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object and is directly proportional to the product of the mass m of the body by the acceleration of gravity g:  

W=m.g

In the case of our planet Earth, the acceleration due gravity is g=9.8 m/s^{2}. So for a man whose mass is m=75 kg, his weight is:

W=(75 kg)(9.8 m/s^{2})

W=735 N
