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.

Answer:

Explanation:

3. The word circuit means "go around", therefore a circuit is a pathway or closed path around which electricity (or water) flows.

4. Electrons flowing through a wire can be compared to water flowing through a hose. Once the flow of electrons or water is going, work, is performed.

5. You would get shocked in a bumper car by touching the floor and the ceiling at the same time. This means you are completing the circuit allowing electricity to flow.

6. Electricity from a wall outlet has enough energy to stop your heart.

7. Electricity is the flow of electrons, because electrons move or jump from atom to atom.

8. Materials that allow electrons to move easily from atom to atom are called conductors.

9. Materials that do not allow electrons to flow easily are called insulators.

10. Semi- conductors are materials that are somewhere in between .

11. Voltage is the force or pressure of electricity and is compared to the amount of water pressure in a hose.

12. Current (amps ) is the amount of electricity and is compared to the amount of water in a hose .

13. Watts (power) is the term for work performed by electricity.

A force of 15 newtons is used to push a box along the floor a distance of 3 meters. How much was done?
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

45 J

Explanation:

The equation for work is:

Work=Force*Distance

We can substitute the given values into the equation:

Work=15N*3m\\Work=45Nm\\Work=45J
