You throw a balloon that floats in the air with a velocity of 2 m / s south . If the wind speed is 5 m / s west , how far south

will the balloon travel after 2 seconds ?

Answer:

The distance traveled by the balloon is 10.77 m

Explanation:

velocity of the ball, v_b = 2 m/s south

velocity of the air, v_a = 5 m/s west

To determine the distance the balloon will travel after 2 seconds, first determine the resultant velocity of the balloon.

                                       | 2m/s

                                       |

                                       |

                                      ↓

      5m/s  ←------------------

the two velocities forms a right angled triangle and the resultant will be the hypotenuses side of the triangle.

R² = 5² + 2²

R² = 29

R = √29

R = 5.385 m/s

The distance traveled by the balloon is calculated as;

d = R x t

where;

t is time of the motion = 2 seconds

d = 5.385 x 2

d = 10.77 m

Therefore, the distance traveled by the balloon is 10.77 m.

I believe the answer would be , it may change from one element to another. I’m saying this because during nuclear transmutation is when a subatomic particle fired at the nucleus of an atom changes into a heavier element , to break the nucleus apart into two nuclei and energy.

How to determine the parametric equation using Newtons second law
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of a system is directly proportional to and in the same direction as the net external force acting on the system, and inversely proportional to its mass. In equation form, Newton's second law of motion is a=Fnetm a = F net m .

\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{p'}
\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{15.8} + \frac{1}{4.2}
\frac{1}{f} = \frac{2.1}{33.18} + \frac{7.9}{33.18}
\frac{1}{f} =  \frac{10}{33.18}
Product of extremes equals product of means:
10*f = 1*33.18
10f = 33.18
f =  \frac{33.18}{10}
\boxed{\boxed{f = 3.318\:cm}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

Since astronauts in orbit are apparently weightless, a clever method of measuring their masses is needed to monitor their mass g
djyliett [7]

Answer:

a) m = 69.0 kg

b) release some gas in the opposite direction to the astronaut's movement

Explanation:

a) Let's use Newton's second law

         F = m a

         m = F / a

         m = 60.0 / 0.870

         m = 69.0 kg

b) when we exert a force on the astronaut it acquires a momentum po, as the astronaut system plus spacecraft is isolated, the momentum is conserved

         p₀ = p_f

         m v = M v '

         v ’= \frac{m}{M} \ v

so we see that the ship is moving backwards, but since the mass of the ship is much greater than the mass of the astronaut, the speed of the ship is very small.

One method to avoid this effect is to release some gas in the opposite direction to the astronaut's movement so that the initial momentum of the astronaut plus the gas is zero and therefore no movement is created in the spacecraft.
