A spherical balloon has a radius of 6.35 m and is filled with helium. The density of helium is 0.179 kg/m3, and the density of a

ir is 1.29 kg/m3. The skin and structure of the balloon has a mass of 990 kg . Neglect the buoyant force on the cargo volume itself. Required Determine the largest mass of cargo the balloon can lift.

Answer: 201 kg.

Explanation:

There are two forces acting (both vertically) on the balloon and the cargo: gravity (downward) and the buoyant force (upward).

If we need that the balloon remain in the air, the buoyant force must be equal to the weight of the balloon and the cargo, as follows:

Fg = Fb

In order to get Fg, we must add the mass of the helium (expressed as a product of the density times the volumen of the balloon, assumed spherical), the mass of the skin and the structure of the balloon, and the mass of the cargo itself, as follows:

Fg = (δHe . 4/3 π r3 + mcargo + mstruct) g (1)

The buoyant force, is equal to the weight of the volumen of the air displaced by the balloon (which is equal to the volumen of the entire balloon as it is completely submerged in air) , which can be written as follows:

Fb = δ air . 4/3 π r3 g (2)

Simplyfing, replacing by the values of δHe, δair, r, and mstruct, and solving for mcargo, we finally get:

mcargo = (4/3 π (6.35m)3 (1.29 kg/m3 – 0.179 kg/m3)) – 990 kg

mcargo =  201 kg.

What do scientists do to easily share measurement data they can understand?
malfutka [58]
These days, scientists all over the world use a standard system of measurements.  It's the SI or metric system.

What about scientists in the United States, Liberia, and Burma ? 
These three countries are the only ones in the world that haven't
adopted the metric system.  What do THEY do ?

Easy.  When scientists in those countries are off work, they use the
inches, yards, feet, quarts, miles and gallons that everybody around
them is using.  But when they go to work, they use the same metric
system that everyone else in the world is using.

A rock is projected upward from the surface of the moon, at time t = 0.0 s, w a velocity of 30 m/s. The acceleration due to grav
Vinvika [58]
<h2>Answer: 277.777 m</h2>

Explanation:

The situation described here is parabolic movement. However, as we are told that the rock was<u> projected upward from the surface</u>, we will only use the equations related to the Y axis.

In this sense, the movement equations in the Y axis are:

y-y_{o}=V_{o}.t+\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}    (1)

V=V_{o}-g.t    (2)

Where:

y  is the rock's final position

y_{o}=0  is the rock's initial position

V_{o}=30\frac{m}{s} is the rock's initial velocity

V is the final velocity

t is the time the parabolic movement lasts

g=1.62\frac{m}{s^{2}}  is the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the moon

As we know y_{o}=0 , equation (2) is rewritten as:

y=V_{o}.t+\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}    (3)

On the other hand, the maximum height  is accomplished when V=0:

V=V_{o}-g.t=0    (4)

V_{o}-g.t=0    

V_{o}=g.t    (5)

Finding t:

t=\frac{V_{o}}{g}    (6)

Substituting (6) in (3):

y=V_{o}(\frac{V_{o}}{g})+\frac{1}{2}g(\frac{V_{o}}{g})^{2}    (7)

y_{max}=\frac{{V_{o}}^{2}}{2g}    (8)  Now we can calculate the maximum height of the rock

y_{max}=\frac{{(30m/s)}^{2}}{(2)(1.62m/s^{2})}   (9)

Finally:

y_{max}=277.777m
