As air is heated, the particles speed up and spread out (becoming less dense). Hot air balloon pilots can change the balloon’s a

ltitude (up or down) by turning a heater at the base of the balloon on or off. - If you were piloting a hot air balloon, do you think you would turn the heater ON or OFF to make the balloon go up in the air? WHY do you think that?

Answer:

Turn the heater on  

Explanation:

There are two main forces involved in a balloon flight

The downward force is the total weight of the balloon: the air it contains, the gas bag, the basket, the passengers, etc.

The upward force is the weight of the of the air the balloon displaces.

During level flight ,

buoyant force = weight of displaced air - total weight of balloon

If you increase the temperature of the air in the bag, the air molecules spread out and leave through the bottom of the bag.  

The balloon still has the same volume, so the weight of displaced outside air stays the same.

However, the balloon has lost some hot inside air, so its total weight decreases.  

The upward force is greater than the downward force, so the balloon rises.

A quarterback is set up to throw the football to a receiver who is running with a constant velocity v⃗ rv→rv_r_vec directly away
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

a) V_o,y = 0.5*g*t_c

b) V_o,x = D/t_c - v_r

c) V_o = sqrt ( (D/t_c - v_r)^2 + (0.5*g*t_c)^2)

d)  Q = arctan ( g*t_c^2 / 2*(D - v_r*t_c) )

Explanation:

Given:

- The velocity of quarterback before the throw = v_r

- The initial distance of receiver = r

- The final distance of receiver = D

- The time taken to catch the throw = t_c

- x(0) = y(0) = 0

Find:

a) Find V_o,y, the vertical component of the velocity of the ball when the quarterback releases it.  Express V_o,y in terms of t_c and g.

b) Find V_o,x, the initial horizontal component of velocity of the ball.   Express your answer for V_o,x in terms of D, t_c, and v_r.

c) Find the speed V_o with which the quarterback must throw the ball.  

   Answer in terms of D, t_c, v_r, and g.

d) Assuming that the quarterback throws the ball with speed V_o, find the angle Q above the horizontal at which he should throw it.

Solution:

- The vertical component of velocity V_o,y can be calculated using second kinematics equation of motion:

                               y = y(0) + V_o,y*t_c - 0.5*g*t_c^2

                              0 = 0 + V_o,y*t_c - 0.5*g*t_c^2

                               V_o,y = 0.5*g*t_c

- The horizontal component of velocity V_o,x witch which velocity is thrown can be calculated using second kinematics equation of motion:

- We know that V_i, x = V_o,x + v_r. Hence,

                               x = x(0) + V_i,x*t_c

                               D = 0 + V_i,x*t_c

                               V_o,x + v_r = D/t_c

                                V_o,x = D/t_c - v_r

- The speed with which the ball was thrown can be evaluated by finding the resultant of V_o,x and V_o,y components of velocity as follows:

                           V_o = sqrt ( V_o,x^2 + V_o,y^2)

                          V_o = sqrt ( (D/t_c - v_r)^2 + (0.5*g*t_c)^2)

       

- The angle with which it should be thrown can be evaluated by trigonometric relation:

                            tan(Q) = ( V_o,y / V_o,x )

                            tan(Q) = ( (0.5*g*t_c)/ (D/t_c - v_r) )

                                   Q = arctan ( g*t_c^2 / 2*(D - v_r*t_c) )

At what wavelength would a star radiate the greatest amount of energy if the star has a surface temperature of 60,000 K?
kompoz [17]

Answer:

\lambda=4.81\times 10^{-8}\ m

Explanation:

We have,

The surface temperature of the star is 60,000 K

It is required to find the wavelength of a star that radiated greatest amount of energy. Wein's displacement law gives the relation between wavelength and temperature such that :

\lambda T=2.89\times 10^{-3}

Here,

\lambda = wavelength

\lambda=\dfrac{2.89\times 10^{-3}}{60000}\\\\\lambda=4.81\times 10^{-8}\ m

So, the wavelength of the star is 4.81\times 10^{-8}\ m.

A 1500 kg car drives around a flat 200-m-diameter circular track at 25m/s. What are the magnitude and direction of the net force
MakcuM [25]

The correct answer to the question is : 9375 N.

CALCULATION:

As per the question, the mass of the car  m = 1500 Kg.

The diametre of the circular track D = 200 m.

Hence, the radius of the circular path R = \frac{D}{2}

                                                                  = \frac{200}{2}\ m

                                                                  = 100 m.

The velocity of the truck v = 25 m/s.

When a body moves in a circular path, the body needs a centripetal force which helps the body stick to the orbit. It acts along the radius and towards the centre.

Hence, the force acting on the car is centripetal force.

The magnitude of the centripetal force is calculated as -

                              Force F = \frac{mv^2}{R}

                                            =  \frac{1500\times (25)^2}{100}\ N

                                            = 9375 N.           [ANS}        

The centripetal force is provided to the car in two ways. It is the friction which provides the necessary centripetal force. Sometimes friction is not sufficient. At that time, the road is banked to some extent which provides the necessary centripetal force.

1. in which of the following cases is the wavelength of the emitted radiation greatest? electron jumps from third orbit to secon
Yuki888 [10]
The more energy orbits the radiation jumps the more energy it has. So if the frequency stays the same each time then the wavelength will get longer if there is more energy.

In this case the situation in which the radiation jumps the most energy orbits is when: the electron jumps from the fourth orbit to the first orbit. This will emit the longest wavelength
