Hot air balloons float in the air because of the difference in density between cold and hot air. In this problem, you will estim

ate the minimum temperature the gas inside the balloon needs to be, for it to take off. To do this, use the following variables and make these assumptions: The combined weight of the pilot basket together with that of the balloon fabric and other equipment is W. The volume of the hot air inside the balloon when it is inflated is V. The absolute temperature of the hot air at the bottom of the balloon is Th (where Th>Tc). The absolute temperature of the cold air outside the balloon is Tc and its density is ?c. The balloon is open at the bottom, so that the pressure inside and outside the balloon is the same. As always, treat air as an ideal gas. Use g for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. Here is the actual question!!!! What is the density ?h of hot air inside the balloon? Assume that this density is uniform throughout the balloon. Express the density in terms of Th, Tc, and ?c.

Answer: \rho_{h}=\frac{m}{m_{air}} \frac{\rho_{c} T_{c}}{T_{h}}

Explanation:

We have the followin data:

W=mg is the combined weight of the pilot basket together with that of the balloon fabric and other equipment

m is the combined mass of the pilot basket together with that of the balloon fabric and other equipment

g is the acceleration due gravity

V is the volume of the hot air inside the balloon when it is inflated

T_{h} is the absolute temperature of the hot air at the bottom of the balloon, being T_{h}>T_{c}

T_{c} is the absolute temperature of the cold air outside

\rho_{c} is the density of the cold air outside

\rho_{h} is the density of the hot air inside

P_{in}=P_{out} where P_{in} is the pressure at the inside and P_{out} is the pressure at the outside

Well, let's begin by writting the equations for the density:

Density cold air outside:

\rho_{c}=\frac{m_{air}}{V_{air}} (1)

Where m_{air} is the mass of air outside and V_{air} is the volume of air outside

Isolating V_{air} we have:

V_{air}=\frac{m_{air}}{\rho_{c}} (2)

Density hot air inside:

\rho_{h}=\frac{m}{V} (3)

Where m=\frac{W}{g}

Then:

\rho_{h}=\frac{\frac{W}{g}}{V} (4)

On the other hand, the The Ideal Gas equation is:  

P.V=n.R.T  (5)

Where:  

P is the pressure of the gas  

n the number of moles of gas  

R is the gas constant  

T is the absolute temperature of the gas in Kelvin.

V is the volume

This can be rewritten as:

P=\frac{n.R.T}{V}  (6)

Since P_{in}=P_{out}:

\frac{n.R.T_{h}}{V}=\frac{n.R.T_{c}}{V_{air}}  (7)

Isolating V:

V=\frac{T_{h}V_{air}}{T_{c}}  (8)

Substituting (8) in (3):

\rho_{h}=\frac{m}{\frac{T_{h}V_{air}}{T_{c}}} (9)

Substituting (2) in (9):

\rho_{h}=\frac{m}{\frac{T_{h}\frac{m_{air}}{\rho_{c}}}{T_{c}}} (10)

Rearranging:

\rho_{h}=\frac{m}{m_{air}} \frac{\rho_{c}T_{c}}{T_{h}}

A ball is thrown into the air with 100 J of kinetic energy, which is transformed to gravitational potential energy
goblinko [34]

Answer:

Air resistance

Explanation:

Despite the law of conservation of energy stating that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can only be transformed from one state to another, some energy is usually lost in the process of transformation and its majorly attributed to frictional loss. Friction opposes normal movement hence in air, air resistance tends to reduce the original energy compared to the initial. That is why the final energy in this case is slightly less than the original energy.

An ideal gas is allowed to expand isothermally from 2.00 l at 5.00 atm in two steps:
Burka [1]

Heat added to the gas = Q = 743 Joules

Work done on the gas = W = -743 Joules

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The Ideal Gas Law that needs to be recalled is:

\large {\boxed {PV = nRT} }

<em>P = Pressure (Pa)</em>

<em>V = Volume (m³)</em>

<em>n = number of moles (moles)</em>

<em>R = Gas Constant (8.314 J/mol K)</em>

<em>T = Absolute Temperature (K)</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

Initial volume of the gas = V₁ = 2.00 L

Initial pressure of the gas = P₁ = 5.00 atm

<u>Unknown:</u>

Work done on the gas = W = ?

Heat added to the gas = Q = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<h3>Step A:</h3>

<em>Ideal gas is allowed to expand isothermally:</em>

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

5.00 \times 2.00 = 3.00 \times V_2

V_2 = 10 \div 3

V_2 = 3\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ L}

\texttt{ }

<em>Next we will calculate the work done on the gas:</em>

W_A = -P_2(V_2 - V_1)

W_A = -3.00(3\frac{1}{3} - 2.00)

W_A = \boxed{-4 \texttt{ L.atm}}

\texttt{ }

<h3>Step B:</h3>

<em>Using the same method as above:</em>

P_2V_2 = P_3V_3

3.00 \times 3\frac{1}{3} = 2.00 \times V_3

V_3 = 10 \div 2

V_3 = 5 \texttt{ L}

\texttt{ }

<em>Next we will calculate the work done on the gas:</em>

W_B = -P_3(V_3 - V_2)

W_B = -2.00(5 - 3\frac{1}{3})

W_B = \boxed{-3\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ L.atm}}

\texttt{ }

<em>Finally we could calculate the total work done and heat added as follows:</em>

W = W_A + W_B

W = -4 + (-3\frac{1}{3})

W = -7\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ L.atm}

W = -7\frac{1}{3} \times 101.33 \texttt{ J}

\boxed{W \approx -743 \textt{ J}}

\texttt{ }

\Delta U = Q + W

0 = Q + (-743)

\boxed{Q = 743 \texttt{ J}}

\texttt{ }

You hold a bucket in one hand. In the bucket is a 500 g rock. You swing the bucket so the rock moves in a vertical circle 2.2 m
slavikrds [6]

Answer:v=3.28 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of rock m=500 gm

diameter of circle d=2.2 m

radius r=\frac{2.2}{2}=1.1 m

At highest Point

mg+N=\frac{mv^2}{r}

At highest Point N=0 because mass is just balanced by centripetal Force

thus mg=\frac{mv^2}{r}

v=\sqrt{gr}

v=\sqrt{9.8\times 1.1}

v=\sqrt{10.78}

v=3.28 m/s

Scientists studying an anomalous magnetic field find that it is inducing a circular electric field in a plane perpendicular to t
bija089 [108]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Scientists studying an anomalous magnetic field find that it is inducing a circular electric field in a plane perpendicular to the magnetic field. The electric field strength 1.5 m from the center of the circle is 7 mV/m.

At what rate is the magnetic field changing?

Answer:

the magnetic field changing at the rate of 9.33 m T/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Electric field E = 7 mV/m

radius r = 1.5 m

Now, from Faraday law of induction;

∫E.dl = d∅/dt

E∫dl = A( dB/dt )

E( 2πr ) = πr² ( dB/dt )

( 0.007 ) = (r/2) ( dB/dt )

( 0.007 ) = 0.75 ( dB/dt )

dB/dt = 0.007 / 0.75

dB/dt = 0.00933 T/s

dB/dt = ( 0.00933 × 1000) m T/s

dB/dt = 9.33 m T/s

Therefore, the magnetic field changing at the rate of 9.33 m T/s
