A large helium filled balloon is used as the center piece for a graduation party. The balloon alone has a mass of 225 kg and it

is filled with helium gas until its volume is 323 m3.
Assume the density of air is 1.20 kg/m3 and the density of helium is 0.179 kg/m3.

(a) Calculate the buoyant force (in N) acting on the balloon. (Enter the magnitude. Round your answer to at least three significant figures.)

(b) Find the net force (in N) on the balloon and determine whether the balloon will rise or fall after it is released. magnitude N direction rise D

(c) What additional mass (in kg) can the balloon support in equilibrium? (If the balloon will fall after it is released, enter 0.)

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Newton's second law, the definition of density and sum of forces in bodies.

From Newton's second law we understand that

F= ma (\rightarrow Gravity at this case)

Where,

m = mass

a= acceleration

Also we know that

\rho = \frac{m}{V} \Rightarrow m = \rho V

Part A) The buoyant force acting on the balloon is given as

F_b = ma

As mass is equal to the density and Volume and acceleration equal to Gravity constant

F_b = \rho V g

F_b = 1.2*323*9.8

F_b = 3798.5

PART B) The forces acting on the balloon would be given by the upper thrust force given by the fluid and its weight, then

F_{net} = F_b -W

F_{net} = F_b -(mg+\rho_H Vg)

F_{net} = 3798.5-(9.8*225*9.8*0.179*323)

F_{net} = 1030N

PART C) The additional mass that can the balloon support in equilibrium is given as

F_{net} = m' g

m' =\frac{F_{net}}{g}

m' = \frac{1030}{9.8}

m' = 105Kg

Which of the following is the best example of a primary circular reaction?
olga55 [171]

Primary Circular Reactions (1-4 months): This substage involves coordinating sensation and new schemas. For example, a child may suck his or her thumb by accident and then later intentionally repeat the action. These actions are repeated because the infant finds them pleasurable.

Could You Take 2 Elements From The Periodic Table Of Elements, and possibly make one of other 116 elements that are on the table
LekaFEV [45]
That's what stars do all the time. 
For example, in the sun (and MOST other stars), deep down in the center
of the sun's core, two atoms of Hydrogen get squashed together so hard
that they blend into one atom of Helium AND release some energy. 
That's where the sun's energy all comes from.  It's called "nuclear fusion". 
It needs tremendous temperature and pressure to happen.  We know how
to do it, but we can't control it.  So far, the only thing we've ever been able
to use it for is Hydrogen bombs.   

There are 92 elements on the Periodic Table that are found in nature,
plus another 20 or so that have been made in the laboratory, but only
a few atoms of them.

When making maps of the large-scale universe, astronomers estimate distances to the vast majority of galaxies by using:
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

<em>The comoving distance and the proper distance scale</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The comoving distance scale removes the effects of the expansion of the universe, which leaves us with a distance that does not change in time due to the expansion of space (since space is constantly expanding). The comoving distance and proper distance are defined to be equal at the present time; therefore, the ratio of proper distance to comoving distance now is 1. The scale factor is sometimes not equal to 1. The distance between masses in the universe may change due to other, local factors like the motion of a galaxy within a cluster.  Finally, we note that the expansion of the Universe results in the proper distance changing, but the comoving distance is unchanged by an expanding universe.
