Answer:

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

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:

1.5 kgms⁻¹

Explanation:

Momentum can be defined as "mass in motion."

The amount of momentum that an object has is dependent upon two factors

mass of the moving object

speed of motiom

when there is a change in the velocity , it creates a change in momentum also

when we consider that we can mathematically show this,In terms of an equation,

Change in momentum (ΔΡ) = m(Δv)

where (Δv) - change in velocity

(Δv) = final velocity - initial velocity

Change in momentum (ΔΡ) = m(Δv)

= 0.1×([55-40])

= 1.5 kgms⁻¹

Wavelength is defined as distance between two troughs or two crests !!

so in this wavelength is 4 metres !!

Here is the complete question:

Two straight parallel wires are separated by 7.0 cm. There is a 2.0-A current flowing in the first wire. If the magnetic field strength is found to be zero between the two wires at a distance of 3.0 cm from the first wire, what is the magnitude of the current in the second wire?
