Answer:

Explanation:

Displacement is the distance from the start point to the endpoint, displacement disregard the path taken or the amount traveled.

if you start at point A, then go to point B, and back to point A, the displacement is zero because you started and ended at the same point.

for this question, pretend you started at point A, went east 20 km to point B, and then west 8 km to point C, your displacement is 12 km. 12 km is the distance between point A and point C.

A spherical balloon has a radius of 6.55 m and is filled with helium. The density of helium is 0.179 kg/m3, and the density of a

Ksju [112]

Answer:

$M_1 = 317.7 kg$

Explanation:

Mass of the helium gas filled inside the volume of balloon is given as

$m = \rho V$

$m = 0.179(\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3)$

$m = 0.179(\frac{4}{3}\pi 6.55^3)$

$m = 210.7 kg$

now total mass of balloon + helium inside balloon is given as

$M = 210.7 + 990$

$M = 1200.7 kg$

now we know that total weight of balloon + cargo = buoyancy force on the balloon

so we will have

$(M + M_1)g = \rho_{air} V g$

$(1200.7 + M_1) = (\frac{4}{3}\pi 6.55^3) (1.29)$

$1200.7 + M_1 = 1518.4$

$M_1 = 317.7 kg$

During a baseball game, a batter hits a high .

Harman [31]

Answer: Due that we don't know the initial speed after hitting the ball, we are going to accept that the ball goes up for half of the time and then falls during other half part, that is 3.0 seconds each. Then we know that ball's movement is ruled by the acceleration of gravity formula, as follows: H = Vi * T + 1/2 * g * T^2 V = Vi + g * T where: H is height, Vi initial speed, g gravity acceleration and T time When we only consider the second half of the trajectory, we have that initial speed at the top of that movement is zero, because ball goes up till top, where stops and starts to go down, so : H = 0 * 3 + 1/2 * 32 * 3^2 = 144 ft. So the height of the pop-up is 144 feet.

2. Below what depth would a submarine have to submerge so that it would not be swayed by surface waves with a wavelength of 24 m

Travka [436]

<u>Answer:</u> Below 12m of depth, the submarine has to submerge so that it would not be swayed by surface waves

<u>Explanation:</u>

To avoid the surface waves, a submarine has to submerge below the wave base. It is the position below which the motion of the waves is negligible.

This wave base is equal to half of the wavelength. The equation becomes:

Wave base = $\frac{\text{Wavelength}}{2}$
