<h2>The balloon is moving when it is halfway down the building at 20.78 m/s.</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion v² = u² + 2as

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s  

Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

Displacement, s = 0.5 x 44 = 22 m

Substituting  

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0² + 2 x 9.81 x 22

v² = 431.64

v = 20.78 m/s

Velocity at 22 m = 20.78 m/s

The balloon is moving when it is halfway down the building at 20.78 m/s.

At a temperature of 320K, the gas in a cylinder has a volume of 40.0 liters. If the volume of the gas is decreased to 20.0 liter
Lerok [7]
Assuming the gas behaves ideally,
PV/T = constant. P will also be constant in this giving us:
V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂
40/320 = 20/T₂
T₂ = 160 K
The answer is A.

A girl is shown at position A on a swing when the seat is directly below the support bar. The seat is then at height A as shown
MrRa [10]

Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>1. The potential energy of the swing is the greatest at the position B.</u>

  • <u>2. As the swing moves from point B to point A, the kinetic energy is increasing.</u>

Explanation:

Even though the syntax of the text is not completely clear, likely because it accompanies a drawing that is not included, it results clear that the posittion A is where the seat is at the lowest position, and the position B is upper.

The gravitational <em>potential energy </em>is directly proportional to the height of the objects with respect to some reference altitude. Thus, when the seat is at the position A the swing has the smallest potential energy and when the seat is at the <em>position B the swing has the greatest potential energy.</em>

Regarding the forms of energy, as the swing moves from point B to point A, it is going downward, gaining kinetic energy (speed) at the expense of the potential energy (losing altitude). When the seat passes by the position A, the kinetic energy is maximum and the potential energy is miminum. Then the seat starts to gain altitude again, losing the kinetic energy and gaining potential energy, up to it gets to the other end,

The magnitude of a vector can never be less than the magnitude of one of its components. Group of answer choices True False
pogonyaev

Answer:

True

Explanation:

As the formula for magnitude of a vector v and their components v_1, v_2, v_3, v_4,..., v_n is

v^2 = v_1^2 + v_2^2 + ... +v_n^2

Since v_1^2, v_2^2, v_3^2, v_4^2,..., v_n^2 \geq 0, this means the sum of them, v^2, is always greater or equal to v_1^2, v_2^2, v_3^2, v_4^2,..., v_n^2
