What is the gpe of a 200 kg hot air ballon 21,000 m above the ground?

Physics
1 answer:
stiv31 [10]3 years ago
8 0

gravitational Potential energy is given by

GPE = mgh

here we have

m = 200 kg

h = 21000 m

now we will have

GPE = 200(9.8)(21000)

GPE = 4.116 \times 10^7 J

so GPE of balloon will be 41160000 J above the given height from ground

A heat engine running backward is called a refrigerator if its purpose is to extract heat from a cold reservoir. The same engine
Goryan [66]

Answer:

a) 2.85 kW

b) $ 432

c) $ 76.95

Explanation:

Average price of electricity = 1 $/40 MJ

Q = 20 kW

Heat energy production = 20.0 KJ/s

Coefficient of performance,  K = 7

also

K=(QH)/Win

Now,

Coefficient of Performance, K = (QH)/Win = (QH)/P(in) = 20/P(in) = 7

where

P(in) is the input power

Thus,

P(in) = 20/7 = 2.85 kW

b) Cost = Energy consumed × charges

Cost = ($1/40000kWh) × (16kW × 300 × 3600s)

cost = $ 432

c) cost = (1$/40000kWh) × (2.85 kW × 200 × 3600s) = $76.95

During a single-replacement reaction, a more-active metal will replace a less-active metal in a compound. Which single-replaceme
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Mg will replace Ag in a compound

Explanation:

A single replacement reaction is driven by the position of ions on the activity series.

As a rule of thumb, the position of metal ions on the activity series determines their reactivity.

Metal ions that are above another are more reactive and they will displace those that are lower.

Generally, activity increases as we go up the group.

Mg ions are higher than Ag ions on the series so, Mg will displace Ag from a solution.

An ice skater spins at 2.5 rev/s when his arms are extended. He draws his arms in and spins at 10.0 rev/s. By what factor does h
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

The moment of inertia decreased by a factor of 4

Explanation:

Given;

initial angular velocity of the ice skater, ω₁ = 2.5 rev/s

final angular velocity of the  ice skater, ω₂ = 10.0 rev/s

During this process we assume that angular momentum is conserved;

I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂

Where;

I₁ is the initial moment of inertia

I₂ is the final moment of inertia

I_2 = \frac{I_1 \omega_1}{\omega_2} = \frac{I_1*2.5}{10} \\\\I_2 = 0.25I_1 = \frac{1}{4}I_1

Therefore, the moment of inertia decreased by a factor of 4

A man rides up in an elevator at 12 m. He gains 6500 J of gravitational potential energy. what is the man's mass?
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

We know that potential energy of a body;

= mass(m)× gravitational acceleration(g) × height(h)

Lets find out the mass of the body

P.E. = mgh

=> 6500J = mass × 9.8m/s^2 × 12m

=>6500J = mass × ( 9.8 × 12 ) × ( m/s^2 × m)

=> 6500 Nm = m × 117.6 × m^2 / s^2

=> 6500/117.6 Ns^2/m = mass [°.° Ns^2/m = kg]

=> 55.272 Kg = mass

Therefore the mass of the body = 55.272 kg ~ <em>6</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>k</em><em>g</em><em> </em>(Ans)

Hope it helps you
