A weather balloon is operating at an altitude at which the density of air is 0.90 kg/m^3. At this altitude, the balloon has a vo

lume of 20m^3 and is filled with helium (density of helium is 0.178 kg/m^3). If the balloon skin weighs 88 N, what load can be supported at this level?

Answer:

54 N

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.  There are four forces acting on the balloon.  Buoyant force pushing the balloon up, gravity pulling the helium down, gravity pulling the balloon skin down, and gravity pulling the load down.

Apply Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

B − Wh − Wb − L = ma

When the load is at a maximum, the acceleration is 0:

B − Wh − Wb − L = 0

B − Wh − Wb = L

B − mh g − Wb = L

The mass of the helium is its density times its volume:

B − ρh Vh g − Wb = L

Buoyant force is defined as B = ρVg, where ρ is the density of the displaced fluid (in this case, air), V is the volume of the displaced fluid, and g is acceleration of gravity.  Since the volume of displaced air = the volume of the helium:

ρa V g − ρh V g − Wb = L

(ρa − ρh) V g − Wb = L

Given that ρa = 0.90 kg/m³, ρh = 0.178 kg/m³, V = 20 m³, g = 9.8 m/s², and Wb = 88 N:

(0.9 − 0.178) (20) (9.8) − (88) = L

L = 53.5 N

Rounded to 2 sig-figs, the maximum load that can be supported is 54 N.

In addition to observing wind speed, wind direction, temperature, air pressure, and humidity, meteorologists observe what?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Precipitation amounts

Explanation:

Meteorologists are scientists whose job is to predict different weather weather conditions. They study the atmosphere of the earth thoroughly so as to make a clear and concise weather forecast.

Meteorologists makes it possible for people to get information on possible rainfall or sunshine, it also enable people to know about a possible hurricance occurrence.

Meteorologists make use of a variety of tools to predict the weather, they include: wind vanes, barometers, anemometers, rain gauges, thermometer, hydrometer, Campbell Stokes Recorder,Transmissometer.

If a 20 g cannonball is shot from a 5 kg cannon with a velocity of 100
balu736 [363]

Strange as it may seem, the statement in the question appears to be <em>TRUE</em>.  

-- Before the shot, neither the cannon nor the ball is moving, so their combined momentum is zero.  

-- Since momentum is conserved, we know immediately that their combined momentum AFTER the shot also has to be zero.

-- (20g is rather puny for a "cannonball" ... about the same weight as four nickels. But we'll take your word for it and just do the Math and the Physics.)

-- Momentum = (mass) x (velocity)

After the shot, the momentum of the cannonball is

(0.02 kg) x (100 m/s ==> that way)

Momentum of the ball = 2 kg-m/s ==> that way.

-- In order for both of them to add up to zero, the momentum of the cannon must be (2 kg-m/s this way <==) .

Momentum of cannon = (5 kg) x (V m/s this way <==)

2 kg-m/s this way <== = (5 kg) x (V m/s this way <==)

Divide each side by (5 kg):

V m/s  =  (2/5) m/s this way <==

Speed of recoil of the cannon = <em>-- 0.4 m/s</em>

A pendulum takes 10 seconds to swing through 2 complete cycles what is it’s period and frequency
Orlov [11]

its period should be the amount it takes to cycle from cycle to cycle so it would be 10 and your frequency would have to be calculated by taking 10 and dividing by 2 since that is how many cycles you have done so your frequency is 5
