A hot-air balloon of diameter 12 mm rises vertically at a constant speed of 14 m/s. A passenger accidentally drops his camera fr

Answer:

<em>The balloon is 66.62 m high</em>

Explanation:

<u>Combined Motion </u>

The problem has a combination of constant-speed motion and vertical launch. The hot-air balloon is rising at a constant speed of 14 m/s. When the camera is dropped, it initially has the same speed as the balloon (vo=14 m/s). The camera has an upward movement for some time until it runs out of speed. Then, it falls to the ground. The height of an object that was launched from an initial height yo and speed vo is

\displaystyle y=y_o+v_o\ t-\frac{g\ t^2}{2}

The values are

\displaystyle y_o=15\ m

\displaystyle v_o=14\ m/s

We must find the values of t such that the height of the camera is 0 (when it hits the ground)

\displaystyle y=0

\displaystyle y_o+v_o\ t-\frac{g\ t^2}{2}=0

Multiplying by 2

\displaystyle 2y_o+2v_ot-gt^2=0

Clearing the coefficient of t^2

\displaystyle t^2-\frac{2\ V_o}{g}\ t-\frac{2\ y_o}{g}=0

Plugging in the given values, we reach to a second-degree equation

\displaystyle t^2-2.857t-3.061=0

The equation has two roots, but we only keep the positive root

\displaystyle \boxed {t=3.69\ s}

Once we know the time of flight of the camera, we use it to know the height of the balloon. The balloon has a constant speed vr and it already was 15 m high, thus the new height is

\displaystyle Y_r=15+V_r.t

\displaystyle Y_r=15+14\times3.69

\displaystyle \boxed{Y_r=66.62\ m}

Name the material used to transfer of charges from one body to other​
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

conductor

Explanation:

A "conductor" is a material that allows the charges to pass freely from one body to the other. This causes a movement among the electrons and this means that<em> the charge will be passed entirely to the object receiving it.</em> This is also called <em>"conductive material."</em>

Examples of conductors are: <em>copper, aluminum, gold, silver, seawater, etc.</em>

The opposite of conductors are called "insulators." These do not allow the free movement of charges from one object to the other.

Examples of insulators: <em>plastic, rubber, paper, glass, wool, dry air, etc.</em>

Sally takes two bar magnets and randomly tapes one end of each bar magnet. she labels the magnets A and B. She brings the taped
Artyom0805 [142]
I already answered this quesiton. The fact is that there are only two kind of poles and since the two taped poles of the magnets labeled A and B attracts one to each other, we know that the two taped poles of the first two magnets are oppsosite.

Then, the taped pole of the third magnet has to be equal to one of the first two taped poles and opposite to the other of the first two taped poles.

That drives you to conclude (predict)  that when she brings the taped end of the third magnet (magnet C) near each of the first two magntes, in one case they will attract each other and in the other case they will repele mutually.

Define the relationship between force acceleration and mass
goblinko [34]
Force is mass times acceleration. This means an object with a larger mass needs a stronger force to be moved along at the same acceleration as an object with a small mass

In odd nuclei, what determines the final spin of the nucleus?
Katen [24]

Answer:

In odd nuclei, the left out proton or neutron will contribute to the spin of the nucleus.

Explanation:

The meaning of odd nuclei is atomic mass is odd.

A=odd number.

A=Z+n

Here, Z is proton either it will odd or n will odd which is neutron.

Now according to the shell model the left out proton or neutron will contribute to the spin and parity.

For example,

Take the case of isotope of nitrogen-15.

Here Z is 7, and n is 8 will not contribute in spin.

Now, for Z=7.

1S^{2} _{\frac{1}{2} }, 1P^{4} _{\frac{3}{2} }, 1P^{1} _{\frac{1}{2} }

Here,

j=\frac{1}{2}

and, L=1.

Fort parity,

(-1)^{L}

Put the value of L.

Parity will be -1.

Now, spin will be

S=(\frac{1}{2} )^{-1}.
