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.

An object has an acceleration of 12.0 m/s/s. The mass of the object is doubled while the net force on the object is held constan
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

The net force acting on the object is doubled while the mass of the object is held constant. What will be the new acceleration? An object has an acceleration of 12.0 m/s^2. The net force acting on the object is halved (decreased to one half its original value) while the mass of the object is held constant.

A 26-g steel-jacketed bullet is fired with a velocity of 630 m/s toward a steel plate and ricochets along path CD with a velocit
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

  F = - 3.53 10⁵ N

Explanation:

This problem must be solved using the relationship between momentum and the amount of movement.

          I = F t = Δp

To find the time we use that the average speed in the contact is constant (v = 600m / s), let's use the uniform movement ratio

        v = d / t

        t = d / v

Reduce SI system

          m = 26 g ( 1 kg/1000g) = 26 10⁻³ kg

          d = 50 mm ( 1m/ 1000 mm) = 50 10⁻³ m

Let's calculate

         t = 50 10⁻³ / 600

         t = 8.33 10⁻⁵ s

With this value we use the momentum and momentum relationship

        F t = m v - m v₀

As the bullet bounces the speed sign after the crash is negative

       F = m (v-vo) / t

       F = 26 10⁻³ (-500 - 630) / 8.33 10⁻⁵

       F = - 3.53 10⁵ N

The negative sign indicates that the force is exerted against the bullet

The power of motor is 50 w the motor drags a 2 object horizontally at a constant speed of 10m/s along a rough floor . What is th
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Frictional force between the object and the floor=5 N

Explanation:

power= 50 W

velocity= 10 m/s

power= force * velocity

50=F * 10

F=50/10

F=5 N

Thus the force of friction= 5 N
