Answer:
Final volume, V2 = 24.62 L
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Initial volume = 40 L
Initial pressure = 80 Pa
Final pressure = 130 Pa
To find the final volume V2, we would use Boyles' law.
Boyles states that when the temperature of an ideal gas is kept constant, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas.
Mathematically, Boyles law is given by;
Substituting into the equation, we have;
Final volume, V2 = 24.62 Liters
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,
and
so, ....................(1)
when it is ascending let the weight that it is releasing is R, so
..........(2)
solving equation (1) and (2)
2F is the weight of material that must be released from the balloon so that it ascends vertically at the same constant speed.
