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

Problem 9: Suppose you wanted to charge an initially uncharged 85 pF capacitor through a 75 MΩ resistor to 90.0% of its final vo

Bingel [31]

Answer:

$t=14.678\times 10^{-3}s$

Explanation:

Given:

Capacitance, C = 85 pF = 85 × 10⁻¹² F

Resistance, R = 75 MΩ = 75×10⁶Ω

Charge in capacitor at any time 't' is given as:

$Q=Q_o(1-e^{-\frac{t}{RC}})$

where,

Q₀ = Maximum charge = CE

E = Initial voltage

t = time

also, Q = CV

V= Final voltage = 90% of E = 0.9E

thus, we have

$C\times 0.9E=CE(1-e^{-\frac{t}{75\times 10^6\ \times\ 85\times 10^{-12}}})$

or

$0.9=1-e^{-\frac{t}{75\times 10^6\ \times\ 85\times 10^{-12}}}$

or

$e^{-\frac{t}{75\times 10^6\ \times\ 85\times 10^{-12}}}=1-0.9=0.1$

taking log both sides, we get

$ln(e^{-\frac{t}{75\times 10^6\ \times\ 85\times 10^{-12}}})=ln(0.1)=ln(\frac{1}{10})$

or

$-\frac{t}{75\times 10^6\ \times\ 85\times 10^{-12}}=-ln(10)$

or

$t=75\times 10^6\ \times\ 85\times 10^{-12}\times ln{10}$

or

$t=14.678\times 10^{-3}s$

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

L= 12 light years

Explanation:

for length dilation we use the formula

$L=L_0\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }$

now calculating Lo

Lo = 12.5×365×24×3600×3×10^8

= 1.183×10^17 m

now putting the values of v and Lo in the above equation we get

$L=1.183\times10^{17}\sqrt{1-\frac{0.28c^2}{c^2} }$

= 1.136×10^17 m

L= $= \frac{1.136\times10^{17}}{365\times24\times3600\times3\times10^8}$ m

so L= 12 light years

A particle of charge 2.0 x 10^-8C experiences an upward force of magnitude 4.0 x10^-6 when it is placed in a particular point in

koban [17]

Answer:

a) The electric field at that point is $2.0\times 10^{2}$ newtons per coulomb.

b) The electric force is $2.0\times 10^{-6}$ newtons.

Explanation:

a) Let suppose that electric field is uniform, then the following electric field can be applied:

$E = \frac{F_{e}}{q}$ (1)

Where:

$E$ - Electric field, measured in newtons per coulomb.

$F_{e}$ - Electric force, measured in newtons.

$q$ - Electric charge, measured in coulombs.

If we know that $F_{e} = 4.0\times 10^{-6}\,N$ and $q = 2.0\times 10^{-8}\,C$ , then the electric field at that point is:

$E = \frac{4.0\times 10^{-6}\,N}{2.0\times 10^{-8}\,C}$

$E = 2.0\times 10^{2}\,\frac{N}{C}$

The electric field at that point is $2.0\times 10^{2}$ newtons per coulomb.

b) If we know that $E = 2.0\times 10^{2}\,\frac{N}{C}$ and $q = 1.0\times 10^{-8}\,C$ , then the electric force is:

$F_{e} = E\cdot q$

$F_{e} = \left(2.0\times 10^{2}\,\frac{N}{C} \right)\cdot (1.0\times 10^{-8}\,C)$

$F_{e} = 2.0\times 10^{-6}\,N$

The electric force is $2.0\times 10^{-6}$ newtons.
