Hot air rises<span> because when you </span>heat air<span> (or any other gas for that matter), it expands. When the </span>air<span> expands, it becomes less dense than the </span>air<span>around it. The less dense </span>hot air<span> then floats in the more dense cold </span>air<span> much like wood floats on water because wood is less dense than water.</span>

half life worksheet answer key 3. What percent of a sample As-81 remains un-decayed after 43.2 seconds
Ivahew [28]

The final mass after decay can be obtained by using under given relation:

half life period of As-81 = 33 seconds

mf = mi x (1/2^n)

= 100 x ( 1/2^(43.2/33))

= 40.4 %

A bottle dropped from a balloon reaches the ground in 20 s. determine the height of the balloon if (a) it was at rest in the air
romanna [79]
<span>a) 1960 m b) 960 m Assumptions. 1. Ignore air resistance. 2. Gravity is 9.80 m/s^2 For the situation where the balloon was stationary, the equation for the distance the bottle fell is d = 1/2 AT^2 d = 1/2 9.80 m/s^2 (20s)^2 d = 4.9 m/s^2 * 400 s^2 d = 4.9 * 400 m d = 1960 m For situation b, the equation is quite similar except we need to account for the initial velocity of the bottle. We can either assume that the acceleration for gravity is negative, or that the initial velocity is negative. We just need to make certain that the two effects (falling due to acceleration from gravity) and (climbing due to initial acceleration) counteract each other. So the formula becomes d = 1/2 9.80 m/s^2 (20s)^2 - 50 m/s * T d = 1/2 9.80 m/s^2 (20s)^2 - 50m/s *20s d = 4.9 m/s^2 * 400 s^2 - 1000 m d = 4.9 * 400 m - 1000 m d = 1960 m - 1000 m d = 960 m</span>
