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

What changes must be done to the wire to increase its conductance.​
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

- Decreasing the resistance

- Using a shorter length

- Using a smaller area wire

Explanation:

Formula for conductance in wires is;

G = 1/R

Where;

G is conductance

R is resistance

This means that increasing the resistance leads to a larger denominator and thus a smaller conductance but to decrease the denominator means larger conductance.

Thus, to increase the conductance, we have to decrease the resistance.

Resistance here has a formula of;

R = ρL/A

Where;

ρ is resistivity

L is length of wire

A is area

Thus, to decrease the resistance, we will have to use a shorter length and smaller area of wire.

A single-slit diffraction pattern is formed on a distant screen. Assuming the angles involved are small, by what factor will the
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

It will be cut in half

Explanation:

The diffraction of a slit is given by the formula

a sin θ = m where

a = width of the slit,

λ = wavelength and

m = integer that determines the order of diffraction.

Next we divide both sides by a, we have

sin θ = m λ / a

Also, recall that

a’ = 2 a

Then we substitute in the previous equation

2asin θ' = m λ, if divide by 2a, we have

sin θ' = (m λ / 2a).

Now again, from the first equation, we said that sin θ = m λ / a, so we substitute

sin θ ’= sin θ / 2

Then we use trigonometry to find the width, we say

tan θ = y / L

Since the angle is small, we then have

tan θ = sin θ / cos θ

tan θ = sin θ, this then means that

sin θ = y / L

we will then substitute

y’ / L = y/L 1/2

y' = y / 2

this means that when the slit width is doubled the pattern width will then be halved

which statements about velocity are true? check all that apply. a. for velocity, you must have a number, a unit, and a direction
satela [25.4K]
a). for velocity, you must have a number, a unit, and a direction.
Yes.  This one isn't bad.  The 'number' and the 'unit' are the speed.

b). the si units for velocity are miles per hour.
No.  That's silly. 
'miles' is not an SI unit, and 'miles per hour'
is only a speed, not a velocity. 

c). the symbol for velocity is .
You can use any symbol you want for velocity, as long as
you make its meaning very clear, so that everybody knows
what symbol you're using for velocity.
But this choice-c is still wrong, because either it's incomplete,
or else it's using 'space' for velocity, which is a very poor symbol.

d). to calculate velocity, divide the displacement by time.
Yes, that's OK, but you have to remember that the displacement
has a direction, and so does the velocity.

Russell bradley carried 207 kg of bricks 3.65 m up a ladder. If the amount of work required to perform that task is used to comp
MrRa [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done in carrying bricks

mgh

= 207 x 9.8 x 3.65

-= 7404.4 J

Work done in compressing gas

PΔV

Pressure x change in volume

1.8 x 10⁶ ΔV = 7404.4

ΔV  = 7404.4  / 1.8 x 10⁶m³

= 4113.33 x 10⁻⁶ m³

= 4113.33 cc

I need help, ASAP, I know what thermal energy is, but how does a skater use it when on the track?
Flauer [41]

Answer: Looked it up but

Explanation:

When the skater lands on the track, the vertical component of his kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy. You can do experiments where there is no loss to thermal energy (only PE and KE conversions) by turning friction off and by making sure the skater doesn't leave the track.
