Answer:

Instantaneous speed means speed at any instant

that means Speed is changing with time

You know speed is distance/time

So that means distance is also changing with time

So we take infinitesimal small distance per infinitesimal small time As we assume speed is constant in infinitesimal small time dt

So, we take speed = ds/dt

ds = infinitesimal small distance

dt = infinitesimal small time

As its ratio is equal to speed at any instant

Note : We are taking infinitesimal small distance

But :) we are taking infinitesimal small time also

As you know if denominator is small fraction is large So fraction always give large value

So it's not O ( this makes confuse to most of students)

So, thanks

Good question

Keep thinking like this :)

A large helium filled balloon is used as the center piece for a graduation party. The balloon alone has a mass of 225 kg and it
Orlov [11]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Newton's second law, the definition of density and sum of forces in bodies.

From Newton's second law we understand that

F= ma (\rightarrow Gravity at this case)

Where,

m = mass

a= acceleration

Also we know that

\rho = \frac{m}{V} \Rightarrow m = \rho V

Part A) The buoyant force acting on the balloon is given as

F_b = ma

As mass is equal to the density and Volume and acceleration equal to Gravity constant

F_b = \rho V g

F_b = 1.2*323*9.8

F_b = 3798.5

PART B) The forces acting on the balloon would be given by the upper thrust force given by the fluid and its weight, then

F_{net} = F_b -W

F_{net} = F_b -(mg+\rho_H Vg)

F_{net} = 3798.5-(9.8*225*9.8*0.179*323)

F_{net} = 1030N

PART C) The additional mass that can the balloon support in equilibrium is given as

F_{net} = m' g

m' =\frac{F_{net}}{g}

m' = \frac{1030}{9.8}

m' = 105Kg

Is velocity ratio of a machine affected by applying oil on it?Explain with reason.​
disa [49]
Factors affecting friction

The intensity of friction depends on following factors: i) The area involved in friction. ii) The pressure applied on the surfaces. Force = Pressure ´ Area Frictional force will increase, if the area of contact will increase or if pressure applied on the surface increased.

Methods to reduce friction

i) Polish the contact surface. ii) Put oil or grease so that it fills in the small gaps of the flat parts. iii) Use ball bearings to reduce area of contact between rotating parts.

Lubrication

Following methods can be used to reduce friction: Oil is either thin or viscous. It depends upon SAE No. of oil. (SAE means Society of Automotive Engineers). If we use very viscous oil, it does not reach all the parts. Very thin oil will flows away easily and gets wasted. Grease is used in such cases. It is generally used around ball-bearing. Normal grease or oil is never used where there is high pressure, high temperature and high speed. Special lubricants are used in such cases. In cold season the oil becomes thick and in hot season it becomes thin. Therefore selection of lubrication also depends on the season. It is always advisable to refer operating manual of the equipment before selecting the lubricant.
