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?

Let
upthrust = T
weight = W = mg
Air resistance = F

When balloon is descending, air resistance acts upwards (positive)
By Newton's first law, the net force on the balloon is zero, or
T+F-W=0......................(1)

Let w=weight of material dumped so that balloon now travels upwards at constant speed.
Air resistance acts against motion, namely downwards.
The Newton's equation now reads
T-F-(W-w)=0................(2)

Subtract (2) from (1)
T+F-W - (T-F-(W-w)) = 0
Solve for w
w=2F, or
the WEIGHT of material to be released equals twice the resistance of air.

If g were 15 instead of 9.81, what would your quads look like?
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Quads will have more energy

Explanation:

If the acceleration due to gravity increases from 9.81 to 15, then the velocity will increase as the rate of changing velocity i.e acceleration has increased from 9.81 to 15 m/s^2

With increase of velocity, the energy and force will also increase. Hence, the squad will require/have higher energy.

What is the term of movement in a particular direction
Art [367]
That is a vector. It is a combination of direction and velocity. (You can think of Vector from Despicable Me to help you remember the term)

The trajectory of a projectile always ________________.
sattari [20]

Answer:

c) curves downward, below the initial velocity vector

Explanation:

A projectile is usually launched from a height, where it is launched with an initial velocity. From that point the gravitational force begins to act on the projectile causing it to decay. As time passes, the projectile advances but its height decreases. So its trajectory is curved downward, below the initial velocity vector.

an electric current of 285.0 ma flows 674. milliseconds. Calculate the amount of electric charge transported. Be sure your answe
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

<em>The amount of electric charge transported = 0.192 C</em>

Explanation:

Electric Charge: This is defined as the product of electric current and time in an electric circuit, The S.I unit of electric charge is Coulombs (C)

Q = It..................... Equation 1

Where Q = Electric charge, I = electric current, t = time.

<em>Given:</em> I = 285 mA, t = 674 milliseconds.

<em>Conversion: (i) Convert from 285 mA to A = (285/1000) A = 0.285 A</em>

<em>       (ii) convert from 674 milliseconds to seconds = (674/1000) s = 0.674 s          </em>

Substituting these values into equation 1

Q = 0.285 × 0.674

<em>Q = 0.192 C</em>

<em>Therefore the amount of electric charge transported = 0.192 C</em>

<em></em>

<em></em>
