Helium is lighter than air from the lungs.

Explanation:

A balloon filled with the air from lungs will sink to the ground but a balloon filled with Helium floats because helium is lighter than air.

Air is a mixture of many gases.

The air from the lungs is predominantly made up of carbon dioxide and water vapor.

Gram per mole of carbon dioxide is 44. Water vapor is 18.
Compared to helium which is 4, we see that the gas is lighter.
Since the gas is lighter, it will float in air.
The main component of air around us is nitrogen gas with a gram per mole of 28.
A balloon filled with more of air from the lungs weigh more than that will filled air around and even far more than helium gas.
This will cause a helium filled balloon to float.

NikAS [45]

We are given the mass of an <span>aluminum sculpture which is 145 kg and a horizontal force equal to 668 Newtons. The coefficient of friction can be determined by dividing the horizontal force by the weight of the object. In this case, 668 N / 145 * 9.8 equal to coeff of friction of 0.47</span>

Dante is leading a parade across the main street in front of city hall. Starting at city hall, he marches the parade 4 blocks ea

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The correct option is A)

Displacement: 6.71 m, Direction: 63.4 degrees north of east

Explanation:

Given that Dante is leading a parade across the main street in front of city hall.

Let, Initial location of parade is 0i+0j

One block of city is one units on the XY- graph

Statement 1: Parade marches the parade 4 blocks east, then 3 blocks south

New location of parade is 4i-3j

Statement 2: The parade marches 1 block west and 9 blocks north and finally stops.

Final location of parade is (4i-3j)+(-1i+9j)=3i+6j

Displacement is given by

Displacement = (Final destination)-(Initial destination)

Displacement = (3i+6j)-(0i+0j)=3i+6j

Thus,

Magnitude of displacement = $\sqrt{3^{2}+6^{2}}$

= 6.71 m

Direction of displacement = $tan^{-1}(\frac{Y}{X} )$

= $tan^{-1}(\frac{6}{3} )$

= 63.43 NE

Therefore, the correct option is A) Displacement: 6.71 m, Direction: 63.4 degrees north of east
