(a) See figure in attachment (please note that the image should be rotated by 90 degrees clockwise)

There are only two forces acting on the balloon, if we neglect air resistance:

- The weight of the balloon, labelled with W, whose magnitude is

W=mg

where m is the mass of the balloon+the helium gas inside and g is the acceleration due to gravity, and whose direction is downward

- The Buoyant force, labelled with B, whose magnitude is

B=\rho_a V g

where \rho_a is the air density, V is the volume of the balloon and g the acceleration due to gravity, and where the direction is upward

(b) 4159 N

The buoyant force is given by

B=\rho_a V g

where \rho_a is the air density, V is the volume of the balloon and g the acceleration due to gravity.

In this case we have

\rho_a = 1.29 kg/m^3 is the air density

V=329 m^3 is the volume of the balloon

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

So the buoyant force is

B=(1.29 kg/m^3)(329 m^3)(9.8 m/s^2)=4159 N

(c) 1524 N

The mass of the helium gas inside the balloon is

m_h=\rho_h V=(0.179 kg/m^3)(329 m^3)=59 kg

where \rho_h is the helium density; so we the total mass of the balloon+helium gas inside is

m=m_h+m_b=59 kg+210 kg=269 kg

So now we can find the weight of the balloon:

W=mg=(269 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=2635 N

And so, the net force on the balloon is

F=B-W=4159 N-2635 N=1524 N

(d) The balloon will rise

Explanation: we said that there are only two forces acting on the balloon: the buoyant force, upward, and the weight, downward. Since the magnitude of the buoyant force is larger than the magnitude of the weigth, this means that the net force on the balloon points upward, so according to Newton's second law, the balloon will have an acceleration pointing upward, so it will rise.

(e) 155 kg

The maximum additional mass that the balloon can support in equilibrium can be found by requiring that the buoyant force is equal to the new weight of the balloon:

W'=(m'+m)g=B

where m' is the additional mass. Re-arranging the equation for m', we find

m'=\frac{B}{g}-m=\frac{4159 N}{9.8 m/s^2}-269 kg=155 kg

(f) The balloon and its load will accelerate upward.

If the mass of the load is less than the value calculated in the previous part (155 kg), the balloon will accelerate upward, because the buoyant force will still be larger than the weight of the balloon, so the net force will still be pointing upward.

(g) The decrease in air density as the altitude increases

As the balloon rises and goes higher, the density of the air in the atmosphere decreases. As a result, the buoyant force that pushes the balloon upward will decrease, according to the formula

B=\rho_a V g

So, at a certain altitude h, the buoyant force will be no longer greater than the weight of the balloon, therefore the net force will become zero and the balloon will no longer rise.

A cue ball of mass m1 = 0.325 kg is shot at another billiard ball, with mass m2 = 0.59 kg, which is at rest. The cue ball has an
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

v_{2f} = \frac{2vm_1}{m_2 + m_1}

Explanation:

If the collision is elastic and exactly head-on, then we can use the law of momentum conservation for the motion of the 2 balls

Before the collision

P_i = m_1v

After the collision

P_f = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

So using the law of momentum conservation

P_i = P_f

m_1v = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

We can solve for the speed of ball 1 post collision in terms of others:

v_{1f} = v - v_{2f}\frac{m_2}{m_1}

Their kinetic energy is also conserved before and after collision

m_1v^2/2 = m_1v_{1f}^2/2 + m_2v_{2f}^2/2

m_1v^2 = m_1v_{1f}^2 + m_2v_{2f}^2

From here we can plug in v_{1f} = v - v_{2f}\frac{m_2}{m_1}

m_1v^2 = m_1\left(v - v_{2f}\frac{m_2}{m_1}\right)^2 + m_2v_{2f}^2

m_1v^2 = m_1\left(v^2 - 2vv_{2f}\frac{m_2}{m_1} + v_{2f}^2\frac{m_2^2}{m_1^2}\right) + m_2v_{2f}^2

m_1v^2 = m_1v^2 - 2vv_{2f}m_2 + v_{2f}^2\frac{m_2^2}{m_1} + m_2v_{2f}^2

v_{2f}^2(m_2 + \frac{m_2^2}{m_1}) - 2vm_2v_{2f} = 0

v_{2f}(1 + \frac{m_2}{m_1}) = 2v

v_{2f} = \frac{2v}{1 + \frac{m_2}{m_1}} = \frac{2v}{\frac{m_1 + m_2}{m_1}} = \frac{2vm_1}{m_2 + m_1}

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

15.2 s

Explanation:

Convert hp to W:

55.0 hp × 746 W/hp = 41,030 W

Power = energy / time

41030 W = 6.22×10⁵ J / t

t = 15.2 s

il63 [147K]

Explanation:

There are many ways to achieve a healthier lifestyle and increase fitness. Healthy eating and constant exercise are essential for maintaining good physical and mental health. Through effective nutrition the human body is able to function better, there is an increase in disposition, improvement in immunity, improvement in blood rates, etc. Physical exercise, on the other hand, assists in strengthening muscles, controlling blood pressure, preventing cardiovascular disease, greater satisfaction, less stress, etc.

Some simple examples that can assist in improving health and fitness are:

  • Reduction of processed foods, sugars and soft drinks.
  • Increased fiber intake
  • Daily walks of at least 30 minutes
  • Increased water consumption
  • Increased consumption of fruits and vegetables
  • Incorporate meditation and yoga practices

You need to focus a 10 mW, 632.8 nm Gaussian laser beam that is 5.0 mm in diameter into a sample. You have access to a lens with
Anna [14]

Answer:

ee that the lens with the shortest focal length has a smaller object

           

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the constructor equation or Gaussian equation

        \frac{1}{f}  = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}

where f is the focal length, p and q are the distance to the object and the image respectively.

Magnification a lens system is

          m = \frac{h'}{h} = - \frac{q}{p}

             h ’= -\frac{h q}{p}

In the exercise give the value of the height of the object h = 0.50cm and the position of the object p =∞

Let's calculate the distance to the image for each lens

f = 6.0 cm

           \frac{1}{q} = \frac{1}{f }  - \frac{1}{p}

as they indicate that the light fills the entire lens, this indicates that the object is at infinity, remember that the light of the laser rays is almost parallel, therefore p = inf

          q = f = 6.0 cm

for the lens of f = 12.0 cm q = 12.0 cn

to find the size of the image we use

           h ’= h q / p

where p has a high value and is the same for all systems

           h ’= h / p q

Thus

f = 6 cm h ’= fo 6 cm

 

f = 12 cm h ’= fo 12  cm

therefore we see that the lens with the shortest focal length has a smaller object
