When a balloon is deflating, why does air leave the balloon?

Answer:

<em>When a balloon deflates air moves out of the balloon </em><em>because the pressure inside the balloon is higher than the pressure outside the balloon.</em>

Explanation:

An inflated balloon has a high pressure region on its inside. Gases always move from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure. When a balloon is inflated its membrane stretches making it even more porous.

The gas molecules inside the balloon easily diffuse out through this membrane. The diffusion rate may differ depending on the type of gas filled inside the balloon and the material of the balloon. For example helium balloon deflates faster than common air balloon.

This is because helium is a light element and can escape easier than gases like nitrogen and oxygen through the porous membrane of the balloon.

Answer:

D. Ramesh and Ravi are correct, but they are using different measurement scales.

\Huge{\underline{\textrm{Explanation}}}Explanation

Here, Ravi says that his body temperature is 100 degrees, but does not mention that whether it is 100 degrees Celsius or 100 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature of a human body is more than 100.4 degree Fahrenheit (38°C), or near to it, the person is considered to have fever.

The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius and not 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

Thus, they both are using different measurement scales.

A 50-cm-long spring is suspended from the ceiling. A 230g mass is connected to the end and held at rest with the spring unstretc

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

k = 25.07 N/m

Amplitude = 9 cm

f = 1.66 Hz

Explanation:

Given:

- The original length of the spring L_o = 50 cm

- The mass hanged m = 230 g

- The amount of stretch given 2x = 18 cm @lowest point.

Find:

a. What is the spring constant? (K=)

b. What is the amplitude of the oscillation?

c. What is the frequency of the oscillation?

Solution:

- Make a FBD of the hanging mass, There are two external forces acting on it that is the force of gravity due to its weight and the springs restoring force when its stretched to its lowest point. After hanging the mass on the spring a new equilibrium position is achieved which also causes the spring to stretch. We can apply the Equilibrium conditions at this point in vertical direction as:

k*x - m*g = 0

k = m*g / x

Where, x is the extension of the spring or mean stretch. which 0.5*amplitude (Lowest point). x = 9 cm

k = 0.23*9.81 / 0.09

k = 25.07 N/m

Answer: For part a we have the stiffness of the spring k = 25.07 N/m

- The amplitude of the oscillating motion is the half the amount of total stretch or the amount the spring extends above or below the mean position.

Amplitude = x = 9 cm

- The frequency of any oscillatory motion which can be modeled by SHM can be expressed as:

f = 1 / 2*p* sqrt ( k / m )

- Plug the values in:

f = 1 / 2*pi* sqrt (25.07 / 0.23 )

f = 1.66 Hz

Answer: For part c the frequency of oscillation is f = 1.66 Hz

A climatograph for a tropical grassland or savanna would look different from the climatograph shown for a temperate grassland. D

Savatey [412]

Answer:

Savannas have a fairly constant temperature all year; temperate grasslands have a greater seasonal temperature variation.

Explanation:

For example, the African Savanna has an almost constant temperature all year (see the first figure below).

The difference between summer and winter temperatures is only about 5 °C, and the rate of temperature change is quite slow.

The temperature of a temperate grassland (see the second figure below) has a much greater seasonal variation.

The summers are hot, and the winters are cold. The difference between summer and winter temperatures is about 30 °C, with a rapid rate of temperature change from one season to the next.
