Hi there!
For this part, we can disregard the horizontal velocity because horizontal and vertical motion are INDEPENDENT.
We can used the simplified equation to solve for time:
Where:
h = height
g = acceleration due to gravity (assume g = 10 m/s²)
Plug in given values:
t ≈3.162 sec
Answer:
The pulling force that acts along a stretched flexible connector, such as a rope or cable, is called tension, T. When a rope supports the weight of an object that is at rest, the tension in the rope is equal to the weight of the object: T = mg.
Answer:
Because the molecules are not packed together as much than the air, in a fixed volume of helium there are fewer particles than in the same fixed volume of air.
This means that the mass of the fixed volume of helium is smaller than the one of air, and then the density, defined as mass/volume, is also smaller.
This is why the balloon floats, because the air is denser, it tries to go down, pushing the ballon upside.
The case is similar for a piece of metal in water, as the metal is way denser than the water, the metal will sink, but for something not as dense, like a balloon with air, the balloon will remain in the surface of the water.
