For the answer to the questions above, I'll give the formulas so that you can answer the equation easily.

These are the equations you need to solve this: 

<span>Lift Load = Buoyancy Force = (Weight of air inside balloon if it were filled with outside dry air) - (Weight of actual gas inside balloon) </span>

<span>Weight of gas inside balloon = (density of gas) (acceleration of gravity at earth's surface) (balloon volume) </span>

<span>Density of gas = (absolute pressure)(Molecular Weight of Gas) / [(Specific Gas Constant)(absolute temperature)] </span>

<span>Balloon Volume = (4/3) π (balloon radius)^3 
</span>
All you have to do is substitute them with the values.

It's obviously b because the more helium it has, the lighter it is...

A 20-lb force acts to the west while an 80-lb force acts 45° east of north. The magnitu 80 lb 70 lb 067 lb 100 lb
natulia [17]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,

force act on west  = 20 lb

force act at 45° east of north = 80 lb

magnitude of force = ?

∑ F y  =  80 cos 45⁰

    F y =  56.57 lb

magnitude of forces in x- direction

∑ F x = -20 + 80 sin 45⁰

        = 36.57 lb

net force

F = \sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}

F = \sqrt{56.57^2+36.57^2}

F = 67.36 lb≅ 67 lb

hence, the correct answer is option C

A descent vehicle landing on the moon has a vertical velocity toward the surface of the moon of 29.6 m/s. At the same time, it h
inessss [21]

If the vertical component is 29.6 m/s down, and the horizontal component
is 54.8 m/s parallel to the surface, then the magnitude of the slanty vector is

   √(29.6² + 54.8²) = √(876.16 + 3003.04) = √3879.2  =  62.28 m/s .

That's 139 mph !  Wow !

The best way to study young stars hidden behind interstellar dust clouds would be to use
Ainat [17]

Answer: Infrared light

Explanation:

Infrared light is an electromagnetic radiation which has longer wavelength than visible light.

cool and faint objects are difficult to be detected using visible light.

Infrared light can pass through dust and clouds of gases. Thus, it is the best way to study the young stars hidden behind interstellar dust clouds.
