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.

Daltons theory was identified using
Margaret [11]
<h2>Answer with Explanation </h2>

Dalton’s theory can be classified by the following hypotheses:

1) All material was formed of particles, unbreakable and strong construction segments.

2) All particles of a given component are indistinguishable in volume and characteristics

3) Compounds are determined by a mixture of two or more distinct kinds of atoms.

4) Chemical responses appeared in the rearrangement of the reacting atoms.

This theory was to explain all matter in terms of atoms and their characteristics, the law of conservation of volume and the law of constant composition.

Forces can act on an object in the same direction or in opposite. how does each situation affect the motion of the object?
Anon25 [30]



Hi pupil here's your answer ::




➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡



Action and Reaction do not act on the same body !! If they acted on the same body, the resultant force will be zero and their could be never accelerated motion.

If both the forces acted on the same body, then if they are equal to opposite direction the object will remain stationary. If on of the forces is greater than other the object will move in the direction of greater force.

If both acted in the same direction there would be an accelrated motion.

What happen to the frequency of a sound wave as you change the pitch?
steposvetlana [31]

The "pitch" of a sound is the impression your brain forms
that corresponds to the frequency of the sound wave.

When the frequency is high, your brain says "high pitch".

When the frequency is low, your brain says "low pitch".

Plants grow over time by balancing two chemical reactions: photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Plants use the products of p
Andreyy89
The answer to that I think would be D because:

A is wrong because it doesn't make sense the way the order it is in,

B doesn't make sense because it is in the wrong order,  and

C says the same exact thing that photosynthesis says which would mean that it is representing the photosynthesis equation not the chemical equation for cellular respiration.

Also it is D because D shows the correct way that the chemical equation representing cellular respiration is supposed to be in.

Hope this helped!
