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

ass of people, basket, and balloon (but not gas) is 300 kg ? the density of the air is 1.2 kg/m3?

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]

Atoms with electronegativity differences below 0.4 generally form covalent<br>bonds. True or False​
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Electronegativity difference of less than 0.4 characterized covalent bonds. For two atoms with an electronegativity difference of between 0.4 and 2.0, a polar covalent bond is formed-one that is neither ionic nor totally covalent.

A stone is dropped from a cliff and falls 9.44 meters. What is the speed of the stone when it reaches the ground?
Lunna [17]

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

given,                                              

height of the drop of stone = 9.44 m

speed of the stone = ?                          

As the stone is dropped the energy of the stone will be conserved.

using conservation of energy.            

Potential energy = Kinetic energy    

m g h = \dfrac{1}{2} m v^2  

     v = \sqrt{2gh}                  

     v = \sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 9.44}

     v = \sqrt{185.024}              

            v = 13.60 m/s                      

Hence, the correct answer is option A

Which of the following choices defines energy in scientific terms?
snow_tiger [21]
1) B. Energy is the ability to do work

2) C. Energy is conserved, it just goes from one form to another.

3) Work = Force x displacement
= 300 x 100 = 30,000 Joules

4) leaning a brick because no displacement is taking place.

5) They change the amount/strength or direction of the force needed.

6) Less force is needed and applied over a longer distance.

7) Heat is the flow of thermal energy from one object to another.
