A spherical weather balloon is filled with hydrogen until its radius is 4.40 m. Its total mass including the instruments it carr

ies is 19.0 kg. (a) Find the buoyant force acting on the balloon, assuming the density of air is 1.29 kg/m3. kN (b) What is the net force acting on the balloon and its instruments after the balloon is released from the ground? kN (c) Why does the radius of the balloon tend to increase as it rises to higher altitude?

Answer:

4515.49484 N

4329.10484 N

Explanation:

r = Radius of balloon = 4.4 m

m = Mass of balloon with instruments = 19 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Volume of balloon

$v=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{4}{3}\pi 4.4^3\\\Rightarrow v=356.8179\ m^3$

The Buoyant force = Weight of the air displaced

$F=\rho vg\\\Rightarrow F=1.29\times 356.8179\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F=4515.49484\ N$

The buoyant force acting on the balloon is 4515.49484 N

Net force on the balloon

$F_n=F-W\\\Rightarrow F_n=4515.49484-19\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F_n=4329.10484\ N$

The net force on the balloon is given by 4329.10484 N

As the balloon goes up the pressure outside reduces as the density of air decreases while the air pressure inside the balloon is high hence, the radius of the balloon tend to increase as it rises to higher altitude.

In science, Bob learns that the energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of the waves amplitude. If the energy of

KIM [24]

The energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of the waves amplitude. Therefore, E = A² where A is the amplitude. This therefore means when the amplitude of a wave is doubled the energy will be quadrupled, when the amplitude is tripled the energy increases by a nine fold and so on.
Thus, in this case if the energy is 4J, then the amplitude will be √4 = 2 .

A 0.50-kg mass attached to the end of a string swings in a vertical circle (radius 2.0 m). When the mass is at the highest point

il63 [147K]

Answer:

31.1 N

Explanation:

m = mass attached to string = 0.50 kg

r = radius of the vertical circle = 2.0 m

v = speed of the mass at the highest point = 12 m/s

T = force of the string on the mass attached.

At the highest point, force equation is given as

$T + mg =\frac{mv^{2}}{r}$

Inserting the values

$T + (0.50)(9.8) =\frac{(0.50)(12)^{2}}{2}$

T = 31.1 N

The activation of clotting factors will be blocked.

dedylja [7]

With the blocking of activation of clotting factors, the rate of conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin will decrease to a huge extent and this will prevent the clot formation.

Option A

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The process of stopping of flow of blood through any wound by formation of a clot is known as blood clotting. The clot in blood is formed by conversion of the fibrinogen protein into its polymer form fibrin which forms a meshwork.

The conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin requires a lot of enzymes and factors present which is required one by one, known as the Cascade theory. Total of 13 factors are required, where there are prothrombin, thromboplastin, and different other factors. Inactivation of any of the 13 factors will lead to less conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, thereby the rate of conversion will highly decrease.

One billiard ball is shot east at 2.2 m/s. A second, identical billiard ball is shot west at 0.80 m/s. The balls have a glancing

Leona [35]

Answer:

(a). The speed of the first ball after the collision is 1.95 m/s.

(b). The direction of the first ball after the collision is 44.16° due south of east.

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of one ball u₁= 2.2i m/s

Velocity of second ball u₂=- 0.80i m/s

Final velocity of the second ball v₂= 1.36j m/s

The mass of the identical balls are

$m = m_{1}=m_{2}$

(a). We need to calculate the speed of the first ball after the collision

Using law of conservation of momentum

$m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}$

Along X- axis

$m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}$

$v_{1}=u_{1}+u_{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{1}=2.2i-0.80i$

$v_{1}=1.4i\ m/s$

Along Y-axis

$0=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}$

$m_{1}v_{1}=-m_{2}v_{2}$

$v_{1}=-v_{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{1}=-1.36j\ m/s$

Then the final speed of the first ball

$v_{1}=\sqrt{(1.4)^2+(1.36)^2}$

$v_{1}=1.95\ m/s$

(b) We need to calculate the direction of the first ball after the collision

Using formula of direction

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}$

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{-1.36}{1.4}$

$\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{-1.36}{1.4}$

$\theta=-44.16^{\circ}$

Negative sign shows the direction of first ball .

Hence, (a). The speed of the first ball after the collision is 1.95 m/s.

(b). The direction of the first ball after the collision is 44.16° due south of east.
