The three forces acting on a hot-air balloon that is moving vertically are its weight, the force due to air resistance and the u

pthrust force. The hot-air balloon descends vertically at constant speed. The force of air resistance on the balloon is F. Which weight of material must be released from the balloon so that it ascends vertically at the same constant speed? A F B 2F C 3F D 4F

Explanation :

The forces acting on hot- air balloon are:

Weight, (W)

Force due to air resistance, (F)

Upthrust force, (U)

Its weight W is acting in downward direction. The upthrust force U acts in upward direction. When the balloon is moving upward, the air resistance is in downward and vice versa.

In this case, the hot-air balloon descends vertically at constant speed.

so, a=0

and F=ma=0

so, W = F + U ....................(1)

when it is ascending let the weight that it is releasing is R, so

(W-R) + F = U..........(2)

solving equation (1) and (2)

(W-R)+F=W-F

R=2F            

2F is the weight of material that must be released from the balloon so that it ascends vertically at the same constant speed.

Answer:  (B) .2 F

Explanation :

The weight is always downward and it is a constant.

The upthrust fore U acts  upward and it has always same value as it depend on the difference in height between the top and bottom surface of the air balloon.

The direction of the force due to air resistance depends on the motion and air resistance always opposite motion. air resistance downwards that means the air balloon will ascending and air balloon will descending then air resistance is upwards.

So, air resistance depends on speed .

When air balloon descending at constant speed

Air resistance = F

A constant speed means acceleration is zero that means the resultant force is zero.

W = F + U.....(I)

When air balloon ascending

air resistance = F downwards

Some weight of the material needs to be released for the resultant force to be zero.

Suppose, the weight to be released be R.

(W - R) + F = U......(II)

From equation (I)

U = W- F....(III)

The upthrust force has same value throughout the motion.

Now, put the value of U in equation (I)

W - R + F = W - F

-R = - F - F

R = 2 F

Hence, this is the required solution.

A 10 kg box accelerates for at a rate of 12 miles per second what is the force acting on the box
lions [1.4K]

193080N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the box = 10kg

Acceleration = 12miles per second

Unknown:

Force on the box = ?

Solution:

The force acting on the box is function of the mass and acceleration of the box.

  Force = mass x acceleration

   Now we need to convert the given acceleration to m/s

     1000m = 1km

      1.609km = 1miles

    \frac{12 miles }{seconds } x \frac{1.609km}{1miles} x \frac{1000}{1km}

      = 19308m/s

 Force on box = 10 x 19308 = 193080N

How potential and kinetic energy changed during the spacecraft launches.
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Have a blessed day!

Explanation:

The energy to launch the spacecraft came from moving the spacecraft against the magnetic force. The energy used to move a magnet against a magnetic force is stored as potential energy in the magnetic field. This magnetic force can convert potential energy stored in the magnetic field to kinetic energy.

Where c is a constant that depends on the initial gas pressure behind the projectile. The initial position of the projectile is
Ronch [10]

Complete Question

A gas gun uses high pressure gas tp accelerate projectile through the gun barrel.

If the acceleration of the projective is : a = c/s m/s​2

Where c is a constant that depends on the initial gas pressure behind the projectile. The initial position of the projectile is s= 1.5m and the projectile is initially at rest. The projectile accelerates until it reaches the end of the barrel at s=3m. What is the value of the constant c such that the projectile leaves the barrel with velocity of 200m/s?

Answer:

The value of the constant is  c = 28853.78 \ m^2 /s^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

         The acceleration is  a =  \frac{c}{s}\   m/s^2

         The  initial position of the projectile is s= 1.5m

         The final position of the projectile is s_f =  3 \ m

          The velocity is  v = 200 \ m/s

     Generally  time  =  \frac{ds}{dv}

   and  acceleration is a =  \frac{v}{time }

so

            a = v  \frac{dv}{ds}

 =>        vdv  =  a ds

             vdv  = \frac{c}{s}  ds

integrating both sides

           \int\limits^a_b  vdv  = \int\limits^c_d \frac{c}{s}  ds

Now for the limit

          a =  200 m/s

             b = 0 m/s  

         c = s= 3 m

          d =s_f= 1.5 m

So we have  

           \int\limits^{200}_{0}  vdv  = \int\limits^{3}_{1.5} \frac{c}{s}  ds

              [\frac{v^2}{2} ] \left | 200} \atop {0}} \right.  = c [ln s]\left | 3} \atop {1.5}} \right.

            \frac{200^2}{2}  =  c ln[\frac{3}{1.5} ]

=>           c = \frac{20000}{0.69315}

              c = 28853.78 \ m^2 /s^2
