Answer:

<em>First option</em>

<em>The position of the sandbag at 0.250 s after its release is </em><u><em>40.9 m</em></u>

Explanation:

We want to know the height of the balloon as a function of time, after 0.250s

Then we use the following equation of motion:

h(t) = h_0 + s_0t - 0.5gt ^ 2

In this equation

s is the speed

g is gravitational acceleration

h_0 is the initial height

s_0 is the initial velocity.

If the sandbag is released 40 meters above the ground, then the initial height is 40 meters.

As the balloon rises at a constant speed, then the initial velocity of the balloon is 5 m/s

Now we substitute these values in the formula

h(t) = 40 + 5t - 0.5(9.8)t ^ 2\\\\h(t) = 40 + 5t - 4.9t ^ 2

Now we look for:

h(t=0.250\ s)

h(0.250) = 40 +5(0.250) - 4.9(0.250) ^ 2\\\\h(0.250) = 40.9\ m

A speed truck locks it’s brakes and it skids to a stop. If the truck’s total mass were doubled, it’s skidding distance would be?
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

The skidding distance would be doubled

Explanation:

When the truck applies the brakes and slows down, its motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, so its skidding distance can be found by using the suvat equation

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v = 0 is the final velocity (zero since the truck comes to a stop)

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the skidding distance

The acceleration can also be written as

a=\frac{F}{m}

where F is the force applied by the brakes and m the mass of the truck. Substituting into the previous equation,

-u^2 = 2\frac{F}{m}s\\s = -\frac{mu^2}{2F}

We see that the skidding distance is proportional to the mass: therefore, if the mass of the truck is doubled, the skidding distance will double as well.

What happens when there is a change in pressure at any point in a fluid
Hunter-Best [27]
A change in pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to every point of the fluid and to the walls of the container. This is a statement of Pascal's Principle, which is the basis of the hydraulic jack you see lift cars at the garage.

As the temperature of a substance approaches absolute zero, the random motion of the molecules
ehidna [41]
Answer:  Decreases

Explanation:
By definition, absolute zero temperature defines the temperature at which the atoms of a material no longer transmit thermal energy.

Engineering materials can transmit thermal energy at higher temperatures by random molecular motion.
It follows that as the temperature decreases toward absolute zero, random molecular motion decreases.
