When multiple forces are at work on an object, the net force is called a <em>resultant</em>, because it's a sum of vectors, and a sum of vectors is called their resultant.

The sun is 1.5 × 108 km from Earth. The index of refraction for water is 1.349. How much longer would it take light from the sun
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

175s

Explanation:

time it takes sunlight to reach the earth in  vacuum

C=light speed=299792458m/s

X=1.5x10^8km=1.5x10^11m

c=X/t

T1=X/c

T1=1.5X10^11/299792458=500.34s

time it takes sunlight to reach the earth in  water:

First we calculate the speed of light in water taking into account the refractive index

Cw=299792458m/s/1.349=222233104.5m/s

T2=1.5x10^11/222233104.5m/s=675s

additional time it would take for the light to reach the earth

ΔT=T2-T1=675-500=175s

When the pressure on a gas increases,what does the volume do?
kupik [55]

Answer:

As pressure goes up, volume goes down.

Explanation:

Pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional.  This means that as pressure goes up, volume goes down.  And as volume goes up, pressure goes down.

Cheers.

What is the minimal mass of helium (density 0.18 kg/m3) needed to lift a balloon carrying two people in a basket, if the total m
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:   
 M[min] = M[basket+people+ balloon, not gas] * ΔR/R[b] 
 Î”R is the difference in density between the gas inside and surrounding the balloon. 
 R[b] is the density of gas inside the baloon.   
 ==================================== 
 Let V be the volume of helium required. 
 Upthrust on helium = Weight of the volume of air displaced = Density of air * g * Volume of helium = 1.225 * g * V   
 U = 1.225gV newtons 
 ---- 
 Weight of Helium = Volume of Helium * Density of Helium * g 
 W[h] = 0.18gV N   
 Net Upward force produced by helium, F = Upthrust - Weight = (1.225-0.18) gV = 1.045gV N  -----

 
 Weight of 260kg = 2549.7 N 
 Then to lift the whole thing, F > 2549.7 
 So minimal F would be 2549.7 
 ---- 
 1.045gV = 2549.7 
 V = 248.8 m^3   
 Mass of helium required = V * Density of Helium = 248.8 * 0.18 = 44.8kg (3sf)   
 =====   
 Let the density of the surroundings be R 
 Then U-W = (1-0.9)RgV = 0.1RgV   
 So 0.1RgV = 2549.7 N 
 V = 2549.7 / 0.1Rg   
 Assuming that R is again 1.255, V = 2071.7 m^3 
 Then mass of hot air required = 230.2 * 0.9R = 2340 kg   
 Notice from this that M = 2549.7/0.9Rg * 0.1R so   
 M[min] = Weight of basket * (difference in density between balloon's gas and surroundings / density of gas in balloon)   
 M[min] = M[basket] * ΔR/R[b]

Action-reaction forces are not balanced forces because of what?
lara [203]

Oh but they are !

Newton's 3rd law of motion says that for every action, the <em><u>re</u></em>action is
equal and opposite.  That's as balanced as you can get.
