Answer:

Acceleration, a=11.4\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the balloon, m = 5 kg

Upward force acting on it, F = 106 N

Acceleration due to gravity, a=9.8\ m/s^2

As the accelerating upward, the net force acting on it is given by :

F_{net}=F-mg

ma=F-mg

a is the acceleration of the balloon and the instruments

a=\dfrac{F-mg}{m}

a=\dfrac{106-5\times 9.8}{5}

a=11.4\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the balloon and the instrument is 11.4\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

acceleration of the balloon is 11.4 m/s²

and

The instruments accelerate downwards at 9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

given data

mass = 5 kg

force = 106 N

acceleration of gravity = 9.8 m/s²

to find out

the acceleration of the balloon and the instruments

solution

we find weight of the instruments that is

weight W = mg

here m is mass and g is acceleration of gravity

W = 5 ×9.8

weight W = 49 N

and

so net upward force on the instruments is

net upward force F = 106 - 49

net upward force F = 57 N

and

The acceleration of the balloon is

Force = ma

57 = 5 a

a = 11.4 m/s²

acceleration of the balloon is 11.4 m/s²

and

The instruments accelerate downwards at 9.8 m/s²

A particular car engine operates between temperatures of 440°C (inside the cylinders of the engine) and 20°C (the temperature of
Step2247 [10]

One of the concepts to be used to solve this problem is that of thermal efficiency, that is, that coefficient or dimensionless ratio calculated as the ratio of the energy produced and the energy supplied to the machine.

From the temperature the value is given as

\eta = 1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}

Where,

T_L = Cold focus temperature

T_H = Hot spot temperature

Our values are given as,

T_L = 20\° C = (20+273) K = 293 K

T_H = 440\° C = (440+273) K = 713 K

Replacing we have,

\eta = 1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}

\eta = 1-\frac{293}{713}

\eta = 0.589

Therefore the maximum possible efficiency the car can have is 58.9%

What is the weight of an astronaut who has a mass of 90 kg on the moon? (Note: acceleration due to gravity of the moon is 1.62 N
motikmotik

Answer:

W = 145.8 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must remember that weight is defined as the product of mass by gravity, in this case lunar gravity.

W = m*g

where:

m = mass = 90 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 1.62 [kg/m²]

W = 90*1.62

W = 145.8 [N]
