A person holding a lunch bag is moving upward in a hot air balloon at a constant speed of 7.3 m/s . When the balloon is 24 m abo
Kitty [74]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the bag, u = 7.3 m/s

Height above ground, s = 24 m

We need to find the speed of the bag just before it reaches the ground. It can be calculated using third equation of motion as :

v^2=u^2+2as

v^2=(7.3)^2+2\times 9.8\times 24  

v=\sqrt{523.69}

v = 22.88 m/s

So, the speed of the bag just before it reaches the ground is 22.38 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

(20) A rocket is launched vertically. At time t = 0 seconds, the rocket’s engine shuts down. At the time, the rocket has reached
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

h(t) = -9.8t² / 2 + 125t + 500

for t > 0.

At t = 0, the rocket is at height h = 500m, at a velocity of Vo = 125m/s.

We want to find the maximum height reached by rocket

Using mathematics maxima and minima

let find the turning point when dh/dt = 0

dh/dt = -9.8t + 125

dh / dt = 0 = -9.8t + 125

9.8t = 125

t = 125 / 9.8

t = 12.76s

Let find the turning point to know if this time t = 12.76 is maximum or minimum point

Let find d²h / dt²

d²h / dt² = -9.8

Since, d²h/dt² < 0, then, at t = 12.76s is the maximum points.

Then, the maximum height reached is

h =  -9.8t² / 2 + 125t + 500

h =  -9.8(12.76)² / 2 + 125(12.76) + 500

h = -797.80 + 1595 + 500

h = 1297.2 m

The maximum height reached is 1297.2 m

From the attachment, the maximum height is 1297.2m at t = 12.76sec.

Comment, the result are the same for both the analysis aspect and the graphical aspect.

The volume of gas in a flexible container at a depth of 10 m/33 ft will expand to ______ its original volume if taken to the sur
natulia [17]

The volume of gas in a flexible container at a depth of 10 m/33 ft will expand to double its original volume if taken to the surface.

  • What is volume:

The amount of space that a substance or object occupies.

Volume is denoted with letter V

  • What is a gas molecule?

Generally, a gas molecule is simply defined as a combination of numbers of atoms that are connected one to another.

here, 10 m/33 feet of sea water is taken to exerts a gauge pressure that is the same pressure as the atmosphere.

This means that we add one atmosphere/bar pressure for every 10 m/33 feet you descend.

The effect of this is that,

at 10 m/33 ft absolute pressure is two ata/bar

Adding another 10 m/33 ft to this depth to make it 20 m/66 ft, puts you under under three ata/bar of pressure and so on.

Descending to a depth it means that you have double the ata/bar pressure acting on you. If you decide to resurface, the pressure on the flexible container will reduce by a factor of two.

Since volume is inversely proportional to the pressure,

If the pressure reduces by a factor of 2, then the volume will increase by a factor of two.
