Why does a balloon filled with the air from your lungs sink to the ground but a balloon filled with Helium floats ?

Physics

hoa [83]3 years ago

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.

A stone is dropped from rest from the top of a cliff into a pond below. If its initial height is 10 m, what is its speed when it
Brut [27]

Answer:

14 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the stone is a free fall motion, so an accelerated motion with constant acceleration g = 9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground. So, we can use the following SUVAT equation:

v^2 -u^2 = 2gh

where

v is the final speed of the stone as it reaches the water

u = 0 is the initial speed

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration

h = 10 m is the distance covered by the stone

Solving for v, we find

v=\sqrt{u^2+2gh}=\sqrt{0+2(9.8 m/s^2)(10 m)}=14 m/s

A 12 oz can of soda is left in a car on a hot day. In the morning the soda temperature was 60oF with a gauge pressure of 40 psi.
Neko [114]
In this case, volume of the can remains constant. The relationship between pressure and temperature at constant volume is given by:

P/T = Constant

Then
\frac{ P_{1} }{ T_{1} } = \frac{ P_{2} }{ T_{2} }

Where
P1 = 40 psi
P2 = ?
T1 = 60°F ≈ 289 K
T2 = 90°F ≈ 305 K (note, 363 K is not right)

Substituting;
P_{2} = \frac{ P_{1}  T_{2} }{ T_{1} } = \frac{40*305}{289}  =42.21 psi

What is the average speed of a car that moved 40 km in 3 hours?
Naya [18.7K]

<u>A</u> would be the answer, since it would take about 3 hours to cover most of it, 10km/h would be the average speed.


really hope this helps.

A cyclist accelerates from a velocity of 10 miles/hour east until reaching a velocity of 20 miles/hour east in 5 seconds. What w
Sliva [168]

Answer:

a = 0.894\ m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Motion with Constant Acceleration</u>

A body moves with constant acceleration when the speed changes uniformly in time. The equation used to find the final speed vf is

v_f=v_o+at

Where vo is the initial speed, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.

The cyclist has an initial speed of vo=10 miles/hour and ends up at vf=20 miles/hour in t=5 seconds.

Both speeds are given in miles/hour and we must convert it to m/s:

1 mile/hour = 0.44704 m/s

10 mile/hour = 4.47 m/s

20 mile/hour = 8.94 m/s

The acceleration is calculated by solving for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

\displaystyle a=\frac{8.94-4.47}{5}

a = 0.894\ m/s^2
