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.

2. You race a child that is exactly half your mass up identical ladders. If you took 5 s, and the child took 7 s, who did more w
topjm [15]

Answer:

You did more work, and you also had greater power.

Explanation:

Work is defined as a force doing a motion.

Particularly, when we lift an object of mass M by a distance H, the work is written as:

W = M*g*H

where g is the gravitational acceleration, then M*g = weight.

In this case, you and the child both are at the same distance to the ground after both of you finish the race, but your mass is twice the mass of the child.

Then if the child's mass is M, then the child's work is:

Wc = M*g*H

your work will be:

W = (2*M)*g*H

meaning that your work is twice the work.

Power is defined as the amount of work you do in a given amount of time.

So, if you needed 5 seconds to do the work W = (2*M)*g*H, then the (average) power will be equal to the quotient between the total amount of work you did and the time it took to do it.

Then your work is:

P = W/5s = (2*M)*g*H/5s

And the power for the child will be:

Pc = Wc/7s = M*g*H/7s

Your power has a larger numerator and a smaller denominator then is easy to see that you had greater power.

Which roots are better underwater , taprroots or fibrous?
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

The absorption of water and minerals by taproot is more efficient with the taproot system. Fibrous root absorbs water more efficiently as it reaches deep into the soil. Taproots are capable of withstanding drought.

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Weathering

Explanation:

The geologic process of breaking down rocks into smaller and smaller units or pieces is known as weathering.

The physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils is known as weathering.

The agents of weathering are wind, water and glacier.

  • Chemical weathering entails the decomposition of rocks.
  • Mechanical weathering is the physical disintegration of rocks.

Therefore, weathering breaks down rocks.

Erosion removes the weathered materials.
