Why do helium balloons float? Talk about density of atoms and compare to elements in the air.

The helium balloon displaces an amount of air. As long as the weight of the helium balloon fabric is lighter than the air it displaces, the balloon will float in the air. It turns out helium is a lot lighter than air.

If at 10m above the ground an object has 50J of Kinetic Energy, with 50J of Potential Energy. How high can the object travel?
steposvetlana [31]

Hi there!

\large\boxed{\text{B) 20 meters}}

We know that:

E_T = U + K

U = Potential Energy (J)

K = Kinetic Energy (J)

E = Total Energy (J)

At 10m, the total amount of energy is equivalent to:

U + K = 50 + 50 = 100 J

To find the highest point the object can travel, K = 0 J and U is at a maximum of 100 J, so:

100J = mgh

We know at 10m U = 50J, so we can solve for mass. Let g = 10 m/s².

50J = 10(10)m

m = 1/2 kg

Now, solve for height given that E = 100 J:

100J = 1/2(10)h

100J = 5h

<u>h = 20 meters</u>

Echoic sensory memory is used when a lightning bolt flashes across the sky.
Ahat [919]
If the statement above answers whether the statement is true or false, then the answer is false. It is not true that the echoic sensory memory is used when a lightning bolt flashes across the sky because it does not have that kind of capacity. The echoic sensory memory is the one responsible for the auditory information.

10-kg box is sliding across an ice rink at 10 m/s . A skater exerts a constant force of 10 N against it. How long will it take f
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Time, t = 10 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 10kg

Force = 10N

Final velocity = 10m/s

Initial velocity = 0m/s

To find the time;

First of all, we would find the acceleration of the box.

Force = mass * acceleration

10 = 10 * acceleration

Acceleration = 10/10 = 1m/s²

Now, we can find the time by using the first equation of motion;

V = U + at

10 = 0 + 1t

10 = t

Time, t = 10 seconds

Therefore, it will take 10 seconds for the box to come to a complete stop.
