Question:<em> </em><em>Find, separately, them mass of the balloon and the basket (incidentally, most of the balloon's mass is air)</em>

Answer:

The mass of the balloon is 2295 kg, and the mass of the basket is 301 kg.

Explanation:

Let us call the mass of the balloon m_1 and the mass of the basket m_2, then according to newton's second law:

(1). \:F = (m_1+m_2)a,

where a =0.265m/s^2 is the upward acceleration, and F = 688N is the net propelling force (counts the gravitational force).

Also, the tension T in the rope is 79.8 N more than the basket's weight; therefore,

(2). \:T = m_2g+79.8

and this tension must equal

T -m_2g =m_2a

(3). \:T = m_2g +m_2a

Combining equations (2) and (3) we get:

m_2a = 79.8

since a =0.265m/s^2, we have

\boxed{m_2 = 301.13kg}

Putting this into equation (1) and substituting the numerical values of F and a, we get:

688N = (m_1+301.13kg)(0.265m/s^2)

\boxed{m_1 = 2295 kg}

Thus, the mass of the balloon and the basket is  2295 kg and 301 kg respectively.

A string is wrapped around a pulley with a radius of 2.0 cm. The pulley is initially at rest. A constant force of 50 N is applie
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

0.20kg-m^2

Explanation:

Let the linear velocity of the rope(=of pulley) is v m/s

Using kinematic equation

=> v = u + at

=>v = 0 + 4.9a

=>v = 4.9a ------------ eq1

By v^2 = u^2 + 2as

=>v^2 = 0 + 2 x v/4.9 x 1.2

=>4.9v^2 - 2.4v = 0

=>v(4.9v - 2.4) = 0

=>v = 2.4/4.9 = 0.49 m/s

Thus by v = r x omega

=>omega = v/r = 0.49/0.02 = 24.49 rad/sec

BY W = F x s = 50 x 1.2 = 60 J

=>KE(rotational) = W = 1/2 x I x omega^2

=>60 = 1/2 x I x (24.49)^2

=>I = 0.20 kg-m^2

Which of the following changes would make a heat engine waste more energy as heat
Komok [63]
A decrease in it's operating temperature would make a heat engine less efficient. This is because in order to operate, a heat engine needs to be hot and maintain that temperature.

What is the distance from axis about which a uniform, balsa-wood sphere will have the same moment of inertia as does a thin-wall
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

D_{s} ≈ 2.1 R

Explanation:

The moment of inertia of the bodies can be calculated by the equation

     I = ∫ r² dm

For bodies with symmetry this tabulated, the moment of inertia of the center of mass

Sphere               Is_{cm} = 2/5 M R²

Spherical shell   Ic_{cm} = 2/3 M R²

The parallel axes theorem allows us to calculate the moment of inertia with respect to different axes, without knowing the moment of inertia of the center of mass

    I = I_{cm} + M D²

Where M is the mass of the body and D is the distance from the center of mass to the axis of rotation

Let's start with the spherical shell, axis is along a diameter

     D = 2R

    Ic = Ic_{cm} + M D²

    Ic = 2/3 MR² + M (2R)²

    Ic = M R² (2/3 + 4)

    Ic = 14/3 M R²

The sphere

    Is =Is_{cm} + M [D_{s}²

    Is = Ic

    2/5 MR² + M D_{s}² = 14/3 MR²

    D_{s}² = R² (14/3 - 2/5)

    D_{s} = √ (R² (64/15)

    D_{s} = 2,066 R
