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

If light intensity obeyed an inverse square law you would expect to find the intensity of light to decrease as the square of the
Reptile [31]
Inverse square law: \frac{I_{2} }{I_{1}}= (\frac{d{2} }{d_{1}})^2
where 
I_{1} is the intensity at distance 1
I_{2} is the intensity at distance 2
d_{1} is distance 1
d_{2} is distance 2

The inverse squared law state that intensity decreases in inverse proportion to the distance squared. So if light obeyed that rule, it will decreases its intensity as the square of the distance increases.

We can conclude that the correct answer is: true.

An airplane flies horizontally with a constant speed of 155.0 m/s at an unknown altitude. A package is released out of the airpl
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

 y₀ = 1020.3 m

Explanation:

This is a projectile launching exercise, in this case as the package is released its initial vertical velocity is zero.

            y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

when it reaches the ground its height is zero

           0 = y₀ + 0 - ½ g t²

           y₀ = ½ g t²

           

let's calculate

         y₀ = ½ 9.8 14.43²

         y₀ = 1020.3 m

A hard-boiled egg of mass 46.0 gg moves on the end of a spring with force constant 25.6 N/mN/m . The egg is released from rest a
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

0.022kg/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of boiled egg=46 g=\frac{46}{1000} kg=0.046 kg

1kg=1000 g

Constant force=F=25.6 N/m

Initial displacement=A_1=0.296 m

Final displacement=A_2=0.12 m

Time=t=4.55 s

Damping force=F_x=-bv_x

We have to find the  magnitude of damping constant b.

We know that the displacement of the oscillator under damping motion is given by

x=Ae^{-\frac{b}{2m}t}cos(w't+\phi)

For maximum displacement cos(w't+\phi)=1

Therefore , x=A_2

Substitute the values

A_2=A_1e^{-\frac{-b}{2m}t}

e^{-\frac{b}{2m}t}=\frac{A_2}{A_1}

-\frac{b}{2m}t=ln\frac{A_2}{A_1}

lnx=y\implies x=e^y

Substitute the values

-\frac{b}{2\times 0.046}\times 4.55=ln\frac{0.12}{0.296}

\frac{2\times 0.046}{4.55b}=ln\frac{0.296}{0.12}

\frac{2\times 0.046}{4.55}=0.9b

b=\frac{2\times 0.46}{4.55\times 0.9}=0.022kg/s

Hence,the  magnitude of damping constant b=0.022kg/s

(a) What is the potential between two points situated 10 cm and 20 cm from a 3.0-μC point charge? (b) To what location should th
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

(a) 135 kV

(b) The charge chould be moved to infinity

Explanation:

(a)

The potential at a distance of <em>r</em> from a point charge, <em>Q</em>, is given by

V = -\dfrac{kQ}{r}

where k = 9\times 10^9 \text{ F/m}

Difference in potential between the points is

kQ\left[-\dfrac{1}{0.2\text{ m}} -\left( -\dfrac{1}{0.1\text{ m}}\right)\right] = \dfrac{kQ}{0.2\text{ m}} = \dfrac{9\times10^9\text{ F/m}\times3\times10^{-6}\text{ C}}{0.2\text{ m}}

PD = 135\times 10^3\text{ V} = 135\text{ kV}

(b)

If this potential difference is increased by a factor of 2, then the new pd = 135 kV × 2 = 270 kV. Let the distance of the new location be <em>x</em>.

270\times10^3 = kQ\left[-\dfrac{1}{x}-\left(-\dfrac{1}{0.1\text{ m}}\right)\right]

10 - \dfrac{1}{x} = \dfrac{270000}{9\times10^9\times3\times10^{-6}} = 10

\dfrac{1}{x} = 0

x = \infty

The charge chould be moved to infinity

Which is an example of current electricity
Reil [10]

Answer:

A or B you choose

Explanation:

This is called current electricity or an electric current. A lightning bolt is one example of an electric current, although it does not last very long. Electric currents are also involved in powering all the electrical appliances that you use, from washing machines to flashlights and from telephones to MP3 players.

what is an electrical current, amp, ampere Current is the flow of electrons. When a circuit is closed then a current of electrons can flow and when a circuit is open then no current can flow. We can measure the flow of electrons just like you can measure the flow of water through a pipe.
