Why does a partially inflated weather balloon expand as it rises?

Answer: So in an Inflated balloon, the pressure in the inside surface (the pressure by the gas inside the ballon) must be equal to the pressure applied on the outside surface. As the balloon rises, the outside pressure starts to decrease, so the pressure inside must decrease, this allows the surface of the balloon to grow, and the pressures can equilibrate.

Alson you can see it this way, as the outside pressure starts to decrease, there are less force holding the ballon size, then it can get a little bigger.

Air pressure pushing in on the balloon decreases as the balloon rises.

At what location in a circuit is the electrical potential energy the greatest

Eduardwww [97]

It's not the potential energy. It's just the potential.

It's greatest at the positive terminal of the battery or power supply.

How much power does it take to lift 70.0 N to 5.0 m high in 5.00 s?

lesantik [10]

Answer:

Power = 70 W

Explanation:

Given that,

Force, F = 70 N

Height, h = 5 m

Time, t = 5 s

We need to find the power of the object. We know that,

Power = work done/time

Put all the values,

$P=\dfrac{Fd}{t}\\\\P=\dfrac{70\times 5}{5}\\\\P=70\ W$

So, the required power is 70 W.

The outer layer of cable on a cable reel is 16.2 cm from the center of the reel. The reel is initially stationary and can rotate

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

B. w=12.68rad/s

C. α=3.52rad/s^2

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by taking into account that (as in the uniformly accelerated motion)

$\theta=\omega_{0}t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^{2}\\\theta = \frac{s}{r}$ ( 1 )

where w0 is the initial angular speed, α is the angular acceleration, s is the arc length and r is the radius.

In this case s=3.7m, r=16.2cm=0.162m, t=3.6s and w0=0. Hence, by using the equations (1) we have

$\theta=\frac{3.7m}{0.162m}=22.83rad$

$22.83rad=\frac{1}{2}\alpha (3.6s)^2\\\\\alpha=2\frac{(22.83rad)}{3.6^2s}=3.52\frac{rad}{s^2}$

to calculate the angular speed w we can use $\alpha=\frac{\omega _{f}-\omega _{i}}{t _{f}-t _{i}}\\\\\omega_{f}=\alpha t_{f}=(3.52\frac{rad}{s^2})(3.6)=12.68\frac{rad}{s}$
