We could use the change of pressure to calculate for the height climbed by the mountain hiker. The change of pressure is given by

p = rho * g * h, where p is the change of pressure, rho is the air density, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height.

Using the conversion 1 mbar = 100 Pa,

(930 - 780)(100) = (1.20)(9.80)h
15000 = 1.20*9.80*h

h = 1.28 km

One of your summer lunar space camp activities is to launch a 1090 kg rocket from the surface of the Moon. You are a serious spa
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

ΔP.E = 6.48 x 10⁸ J

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon:

g = GM/R²

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon = ?

G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

M = Mass of moon = 7.36 x 10²² kg

R = Radius of Moon = 1740 km = 1.74 x 10⁶ m

Therefore,

g = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²)(7.36 x 10²² kg)/(1.74 x 10⁶ m)²

g = 2.82 m/s²

now the change in gravitational potential energy of rocket is calculated by:

ΔP.E = mgΔh

where,

ΔP.E = Change in Gravitational Potential Energy = ?

m = mass of rocket = 1090 kg

Δh = altitude = 211 km = 2.11 x 10⁵ m

Therefore,

ΔP.E = (1090 kg)(2.82 m/s²)(2.11 x 10⁵ m)

<u>ΔP.E = 6.48 x 10⁸ J</u>

A student notices that an inflated balloon gets larger when it is warmed by a lamp. Which best describes the mass of the balloon
nirvana33 [79]
It gets larger because
well let me give you an example
so today in class we looked at a lava lamp with wax inside and there was a lightbulb at the bottom.
we watched as the wax floated up because the molecules inside the wax spreads out and makes the wax less dense.
the wax floats up because (which is related to the balloon getting bigger) the wax is getting less dense and the particles get bigger which ALSO makes the wax less dense.
hope this helps and hope you can relate it to your problem! say thanks if I did help AT ALL! :)
