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.

Explanation:

What is IEEE 802.11?

IEEE 802.11 is a set of WLAN standards for communication developed by the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and is unarguably most widely used WLAN technology.

Features: IEEE 802.11a

  • The operating frequency band is 5 GHz.
  • The maximum theoretical data rate is 54 Mbps, the typical throughput is around 25 Mbps and minimum data rate is 6 Mbps.
  • It can support 64 users per access point.

Features: IEEE 802.11b

  • The operating frequency band is 2.4 GHz.
  • The maximum theoretical data rate is 11 Mbps but typical throughput is around 6 Mbps and minimum data rate is 1 Mbps.
  • It can support 32 users per access point.

Wireless Coverage IEEE 802.11a Vs IEEE 802.11b:

  • Signal coverage is one of the most important factors among users.
  • The transmission range of IEEE 802.11a is not greater than 100 ft in indoor setting whereas IEEE 802.11b has a superior performance in this regard with transmission range up to 150 ft in indoor setting.
  • The data rate has a direct relation with the access point coverage area, a higher data rate means less coverage area and a lower data rate results in increased coverage.

arlik [135]

Answer:

the googles are 4.33mm from the edge

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the distance of a set of googles from the edge of a pool.

We proceed as follows;

depth of pool , d = 3.1mm

Now, let i be the angle of incidence

i = arctan(1.8/1.2)

i = 56.31 degree

Using snell's law ,

n1 * sin(i) = n2 * sin(r)

1 * sin(56.3) = 1.33 * sin(r)

r = 38.72 degrees

Now,

distance of googles = 1.8+ d*tan(r)

distance of googles = 1.8+ 3.1 * tan(38.72)

distance of googles = 4.3 mm
