Answer:

D) Distance is always greater than or equal to displacement.

Explanation:

Since we know that the displacement is shortest distance between initial and final position or we can say it is the straight line distance between initial and final position.

While distance is the total path length of the object while it will move from initial to final position.

So if object moves in a straight line path without any turn then the path length and the displacement is always same.

But if the object move on curved path then displacement is smaller than the distance moved by the object

So here correct answer would be

D) Distance is always greater than or equal to displacement.

Displacement is a vector quantity whereas distance is scalar quantity.
Distance is the magnitude of displacement. Hence distance is always greater than or equal to displacement.
Option D is correct.

Assuming that the densities of the gases are:

density of air, ρ1 = 1.29 kg / m^3

density of helium, ρ2 = 0.179 kg / m^3

 

Since buoyant force and weight are two forces that are in opposite direction (buoyant force is up while weight is down), therefore equate the two:

buoyant force = weight

m g = (800 + m1) g

where m is the mass of buoyancy, g is gravity and m1 is the maximum mass of the cargo

m = 800 + m1

 

We know that mass is also expressed as:

m = ρ V

where ρ is density of gas and V is volume of the sphere

Since there are two interacting gases here, therefore m is:

m = (ρ1 – ρ2) V

 

Therefore:

(ρ1 – ρ2) V = 800 + m1

(1.29 – 0.179) (4π/3) (8.35m)^3 = 800 + m1

2709.33 = 800 + m1

m1 = 1,909.33 kg
