centrifugal force is a fictitious force. What is happening is that since the earth itself is not a rigid body it will deform when under motion. Although gravity attempts to make the earth spherical, as it is rotating the earth deforms, in such away that it flattens to become an oblique spheroid. This happens as the material at the equator must have a net resultant centripetal force (not centrifugal) which causes its position of equilibrium from the center of the earth to be further away than at the poles as they do not have this force as they are not rotating around the center of mass.
A firecracker before been lit has potential energy in it. It is chemical potential energy which is due to the explosives in it.When it is lit, it gets converted into heat,light and kinetic energy.
Answer:
Since the distance between the pivot and its weight is zero, the moment of its weight about the pivot (= weight × 0) is zero. Hence, the weight of the ruler can be ignored.

Explanation:
There are two main forces involved in a balloon flight
The downward force is the total weight of the balloon: the air it contains, the gas bag, the basket, the passengers, etc.
The upward force is the weight of the of the air the balloon displaces.
During level flight
,
buoyant force = weight of displaced air - total weight of balloon
If you increase the temperature of the air in the bag, the air molecules spread out and leave through the bottom of the bag.
The balloon still has the same volume, so the weight of displaced outside air stays the same.
However, the balloon has lost some hot inside air, so its total weight decreases.
The upward force is greater than the downward force, so the balloon rises.
