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 1/12+7/9 hj

Umnica [9.8K]

Explanation:

$\frac{1}{12} + \frac{7}{9} \\ \\ = \frac{1 \times 3}{12 \times 3} + \frac{7 \times 4}{9 \times 4} \\ \\ = \frac{3}{36} + \frac{28}{36} \\ \\ = \frac{3 + 28}{36} \\ \\ = \frac{31}{36} \\ \\ \huge \purple{ \boxed{\therefore \: \frac{1}{12} + \frac{7}{9} = \frac{31}{36} }} \\$
