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 truck with 28-in.-diameter wheels is traveling at 50 mi/h. Find the angular speed of the wheels in rad/min, *hint convert mile
solong [7]

Answer:

Angular speed ω=3771.4 rad/min

Revolution=5921 rpm

Explanation:

Given data

d=28in\\r=d/2=28/2=14in\\v=50mi/hr

To find

Angular speed ω

Revolution per minute N

Solution

First we need to convert the speed of truck to inches per mile

as

1 mile=63360 inches

1 hour=60 minutes

so

v=(50*\frac{63360}{60} )\\v=52800in/min

Now to solve for angular speed ω by substituting the speed v and radius r in below equation

w=\frac{v}{r}\\ w=\frac{52800in/min}{14in}\\ w=3771.4rad/min

To solve for N(revolutions per minute) by substituting the angular speed ω in the following equation

N=\frac{w}{2\pi }\\ N=\frac{3771.4rad/min}{2\pi }\\ N=5921RPM

A punted football hits the ground with a force of 50 N . According to Newton’s 3rd law of motion what also happens at the same e
Nadya [2.5K]

As per Newton's III law every action has equal and opposite reaction

So here we can say that

every body which apply force on other body must have a reaction force of same magnitude in opposite direction

So here if ball hits the ground by 50 N force then the ball must have a reaction force on itself with same magnitude and opposite direction

the magnitude of the force will be 50 N

and its direction is opposite to the force that ball apply on the floor

A system absorbs 194 kj of heat and the surroundings do 120 kj of work on the system. internal eneergy change
notsponge [240]
We can solve the problem by using the first law of thermodynamics, which states that:
\Delta U = Q-W
where
\Delta U is the change in internal energy of the system
Q is the heat absorbed by the system
W is the work done by the system

In our problem, the heat absorbed by the system is Q=+194 kJ, while the work done is W=-120 kJ, where the negative sign means the work is done by the surroundings on the system. Therefore, the variation of internal energy is
\Delta U= Q-W=+194 kJ - (-120 kJ)=+314 kJ

I need help
Gala2k [10]

The energy of the wave will decrease.

The energy of a wave is given as

E = h f

where E = energy of waver

h = plank's constant

f = frequency of the wave.

From the formula , we see that the energy of the wave is directly proportional to the frequency of the wave. hence as the frequency of the wave decrease, the energy of the wave will decrease.
