A mountain-climber friend with a mass of 74 kg ponders the idea of attaching a helium-filled balloon to himself to effectively r

educe his weight by 25% when he climbs. He wonders what the approximate size of such a balloon would be. Hearing of your physics skills, he asks you. Share with him your calculations that find the volume of the balloon.

Answer:

V=16.65 m^3

Explanation:

The volume of the balloon can be find compared the force in each cases so:

reduce 25% from 74kg

R=\frac{25}{100}*74kg=18.5kg

So the net force uproad on the balloon is

F_b=18.5kg*g

Now the density of the both gases air and helium are different however the volume is the same change offcorss the mass so:

P_h=\frac{m}{V}=0.179 kg/m^3

P_A=1.29 kg/m^3

F_b=F_A-F_H

F_b=m_a*g-m_h*g

m=P/V

18.5kg*g=(1.29kg/m^3-0.179kg/m^3*)V*g

V=\frac{18.5kg}{(1.29-0.179)kg/m^3}

V=16.65 m^3

An FM radio station broadcasts at 9.23 × 107 Hz. Given that the radio waves travel at 3.00 × 108 m/s, what is the wavelength of
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

3.2m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Frequency of the FM radio = 9.23 x 10⁷Hz

Velocity of the waves = 3  x 10⁸m/s

Unknown:

Wavelength of the wave = ?

Solution:

To solve for the wavelength of the wave, we need the velocity equation;

       Velocity = frequency x wavelength.

Radio waves are all electromagnetic radiations produced by both electrical and magnetic fields perpendicularly oriented to one another.

 Since the unknown is wavelength, we solve for it:

       

    3  x 10⁸  = 9.23 x 10⁷ x wavelength

          wavelength = \frac{ 3 x 10^{8} }{9.23 x  10^{7} }

        wavelength = 3.2m

If you are in a spaceship that is sitting on the surface of a planet, you feel your weight. How does this compare to the weight
nordsb [41]

Answer:

You will feel more weight if it is accelerating out of the planet.

You will feel less weight if it is accelerating towards the planet.

Explanation:

The weight that you are observing or feeling is basically due to the change in acceleration of your fall or rising up in the spaceship. When the acceleration is stationary on the surface, you experience your normal weight due to the gravitational acceleration of that planet.

When the spaceship accelerates above or out of the planet you experience acceleration more than the acceleration of gravity hence more weight.

When the spaceship accelerates towards the planet you experience acceleration less than the acceleration of gravity hence less weight.

If the spaceship is free falling at the gravitational acceleration you experience a zero weight

A rock weighs 110 N in air and has a volume of 0.00337 m3 . What is its apparent weight when submerged in water? The acceleratio
pickupchik [31]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of the rock in air, W = 110 N

Since, W = mg

m=\dfrac{W}{g}

m=\dfrac{110\ N}{9.8\ m/s^2}

m = 11.22 kg

We need to find the apparent weight of the rock when it is submerged in water. Apparent weight is equal to the weight of liquid displaced i.e.

M=d\times V

d is the density of water, d=1000\ kg/m^3

V is the volume of rock, V=0.00337\ m^3

M=1000\ kg/m^3\times 0.00337\ m^3

M = 3.37 kg

The apparent weight in water, W = m - M

W=7.85\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2

W = 76.93 N

So, the apparent weight of the rock is 76.93 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

4.) the dependent variable is the french fry

5.) the independent variable is the jar; whether it has a lid on or not

6.) there are plenty of control variables in this example, the type of jar (size, material of the jar, etc.), the type of french fry, the room that the jars are in, the air pressure in the room, how long the experiment is, etc.

7.) My conclusion would be that the french fry that has the most exposure to the air.

The moisture in the french fry is leaving the jar because it is exposed to the open air. It becomes stale. But because the other french fry is in the closed jar, it is not exposed to the air or any new type of bacteria that could've entered the open jar. It'll stay fresher longer because it is not exposed the way the fry in the open jar is.

Explanation:

The dependent variable is the variable that is being tested. It is the one that changes due to whatever is being placed upon it.

  • i.e. the dependent variable in an experiment that tests the growth rate of lima bean plants in different colored lighting is the lima bean plant. <em>Depending</em> on the color of the lighting, the lima bean plant will grow at different rates.

The independent variable is the variable that is changed or controlled by an experimenter

  • i.e. the independent variable in an experiment that tests the growth rate of lima bean plants in different colored lighting is the different colored lighting. The color of the lighting helps prove the hypothesis that the growth rate of a lima bean plant is dependent on the lighting. In other words, the color of the light is not dependent on the growth of the plant.

A control variable is a variable that cannot be changed and is constant throughout the entire experiment

  • i.e. temperature, gravity, pollutants in the air, air pressure, humidity, etc.
