A hot air balloon is rising vertically with a velocity of 10.0 feet per second. A very small ball is released from the hot air b

alloon at the instant when it is 960 feet above the ground. Use a(t)=−32 ft/sec2 as the acceleration due to gravity.
1. How many seconds after its release will the ball strike the ground? Round the answer to the nearest two decimal places.

2. At what velocity will it hit the ground?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

The rising velocity of the balloon

U = 10 ft/s

The height where a small balloon is release is

y = 960ft

Taking g = - 32 ft/s²

A. Time the balloon will strike the ground.

Using the equation of free fall

∆y = ut + ½gt².

0—960 = 10t + ½× -32 × t²

- 960 = 10t —16t²

16t² — 10t — 960 = 0

Divide through by 2

8t²—5t —480= 0

Using quadratic formula method

t = [-b ± √(b²-4ac)] / 2a

a = 8 b = -5 and c = -480

t = [--5 ± √((-5)²-4×8×-480)] / 2×8

t = [5 ± √(25+15360)] / 16

t = [5 ± 124.04] / 16

Let discard the negative time since time can't be negate

Then, t = [5+124.06] / 16

t = 8.065 seconds

To 2d.p

t = 8.06 seconds

B. Final velocity it hits the ground

Using equation of motion.

V = U + gt

V = 10 + (-32) × 8.06

V = 10 — 258.07

V = —248.07m/s

The negative sign is showing that it is moving downward

The length of a cylindrical axon is 8 cm and its radius of 8μm,and the thickness of the membrane is 0.01μm,dielectric constant (
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

9.965 nF

Explanation:

The capacitance of the axon C = εA/d where ε = dielectric constant = 24.78 × 10⁻¹² F/m, A = surface area of axon = 2πrL where r = radius of axon = 8 μm = 8 × 10⁻⁶ m and L = length of axon = 8 cm = 8 × 10⁻² m and d = thickness of membrane = 0.01 μm = 0.01 × 10⁻⁶ m

So, C = εA/d

C = ε2πrL/d

Substituting the of the values variables into the equation, we have

C = ε2πrL/d

C =  24.78 × 10⁻¹² F/m × 2π × 8 × 10⁻⁶ m × 8 × 10⁻² m/0.01 × 10⁻⁶ m

C =  9964.63 × 10⁻²⁰ Fm/0.01 × 10⁻⁶ m

C =  996463 × 10⁻¹⁴ F

C = 9.96463 × 10⁻⁹ F

C = 9.96463 nF

C ≅ 9.965 nF

A car generates 2,552 N and weighs 2,250 pounds. what is the rate of acceleration
Lilit [14]
Ans: a = 2.50 m/s^2

Explanation:
First convert the mass in its standard unit i.e. kilogram(kg):
2250 lbs = 1020.583kg

Next use Newton's Second law:
F = ma

Where F = 2552N
m = 1020.583kg

=> a = (2552/1020.583)
a = 2.50 m/s^2

I NEED HELP WITH THIS PLEASE
Ann [662]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

One of the factors of increasing the rate of a reaction is increasing concentration. Therefore adding more people increases the number of people on the dance floor , therefore increasing the concentration increases the rate of reaction.
