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
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.
Answer:
M[min] = M[basket+people+ balloon, not gas] * ΔR/R[b]
ΔR 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]
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.
