Let the mass of the person be m. Total momentum is conserved (because the exterior forces on the system are balanced), especially the component in the vertical direction.

Given that,

Mass of gallon is M

Let man mass be m

Velocity of man is v

Let velocity if ballot be Vb

When the person begin to move we have

Conservation of momentum

mv + MVb=0

MVb=-mv

Vb= -(m/M) v

Given that the mass of man is less than mass of balloon. i.e. m<M

So, if m<M, then, m/M <1

Therefore, .

Vb= -(m/M) v

Vb< -v

This implies that the velocity of balloon is less than the velocity of man and if is also moving in opposite direction

So the man is moving upward, then the balloon is moving downward and it's velocity is less than the velocity of man,

The answer is C

Down with a speed less than v

Given Information:

Mass of balloon = M

Mass of person = m    (m < M)

Speed of balloon = V

Speed of person = v

Required Information:

How does the balloon move relative to the  ground ?

Answer:

The balloon is moving down with speed V that is less than speed of person v.

Explanation:

Initially, the person and balloon both are at rest and no external net force on the system is acting.

The momentum is given by

Δp = FΔt

Where F is external force and if F is 0 then Δp must be 0 so that momentum is conserved.

pi = pf

The initial momentum is 0 since they were at rest initially, so the final momentum is

MV + mv = 0

MV = -mv

V = -mv/M

since m < M then m/M < 1 so

V < -v

The balloon is moving down with speed V that is less than speed of person v.

Calculate the net force on particle q1. First, find the direction of the force particle q2 is exerting on particle q1. Is it pus
ValentinkaMS [17]

The net force on particle particle q1 is 13.06 N towards the left.

<h3>Force on q1 due to q2</h3>

F(12) = kq₁q₂/r₂

F(12) = (9 x 10⁹ x 13 x 10⁻⁶ x 7.7 x 10⁻⁶)/(0.25²)

F(12) = -14.41 N  (towards left)

<h3>Force on q1 due to q3</h3>

F(13) = (9 x 10⁹ x 7.7 x 10⁻⁶ x 5.9 x 10⁻⁶)/(0.55²)

F(13) = 1.352 N (towards right)

<h3>Net force on q1</h3>

F(net) = 1.352 N - 14.41 N

F(net) = -13.06 N

Thus, the net force on particle particle q1 is 13.06 N towards the left.

At a certain location, Earth has a magnetic field of 0.60 ✕ 10−4 T, pointing 75° below the horizontal in a north-south plane. A
saveliy_v [14]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Magnetic field,B=0.6\times 10^{-4} T

\theta=75^{\circ}

Length of wire,l=15 m

Current,I=19 A

a.We have to find the magnitude of magnetic force and direction of magnetic force.

Magnetic force,F=IBlsin\theta

Using the formula

F=0.6\times 10^{-4}\times 15\times 19sin75

F=16.5\times 10^{-3} N

Direction=tan\theta=cot(90-75)=tan15^{\circ}

\theta=15^{\circ}

15 degree above the horizontal  in the northward direction.

What force is needed to accelerate an object 5 m/s2 if the object has a mass of 10 kg?
Helga [31]
We know, F = m * a
F = 10 * 5
F = 50 N

In short, Your Answer would be 50 Newtons

Hope this helps!
