Explanation :
The forces acting on hot- air balloon are:
Weight, (W)
Force due to air resistance, (F)
Upthrust force, (U)
Its weight W is acting in downward direction. The upthrust force U acts in upward direction. When the balloon is moving upward, the air resistance is in downward and vice versa.
In this case, the hot-air balloon descends vertically at constant speed.
so, 
and 
so, 
....................(1)
when it is ascending let the weight that it is releasing is R, so
..........(2)
solving equation (1) and (2)
2F is the weight of material that must be released from the balloon so that it ascends vertically at the same constant speed.
Answer:
Weight at the surface of Jupiter's moon Io is 8.13 N .
Explanation:
Given :
Acceleration due to gravity at the surface of Jupiter's moon is 
.
Weight of watermelon in earth , 
.
Acceleration due to gravity at the surface of earth is 
.
We know , weight is given by :
Therefore , mass at the surface of Jupiter's moon Io is :
Hence , this is the required solution .
"60 kg" is not a weight. It's a mass, and it's always the same
no matter where the object goes.
The weight of the object is
(mass) x (gravity in the place where the object is) .
On the surface of the Earth,
Weight = (60 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)
= 588 Newtons.
Now, the force of gravity varies as the inverse of the square of the distance from the center of the Earth.
On the surface, the distance from the center of the Earth is 1R.
So if you move out to 5R from the center, the gravity out there is
(1R/5R)² = (1/5)² = 1/25 = 0.04 of its value on the surface.
The object's weight would also be 0.04 of its weight on the surface.
(0.04) x (588 Newtons) = 23.52 Newtons.
Again, the object's mass is still 60 kg out there.
___________________________________________
If you have a textbook, or handout material, or a lesson DVD,
or a teacher, or an on-line unit, that says the object "weighs"
60 kilograms, then you should be raising a holy stink.
You are being planted with sloppy, inaccurate, misleading
information, and it's going to be YOUR problem to UN-learn it later.
They owe you better material.
Answer:
B)velocity of object decreases
Explanation:
Consider the positive x axis as positive direction
Assume a body moving in negative x-axis direction
It's acceleration also alone negative x-axis direction
So according to our consideration
velocity and acceleration values are negative
That is both are towards negative x direction
But as both velocity and acceleration are in same direction, MAGNITUDE of velocity increases
But as magnitude increases in negative direction, velocity value decreases
But speed value increases(As speed is scalar and velocity is a vector)
