A lighter-than-air balloon and its load of passengers and ballast are floating stationary above the earth. ballast is weight (of

negligible volume) that can be dropped overboard to make the balloon rise. the radius of this balloon is 6.52 m. assuming a constant value of 1.29 kg/m3 for the density of air, determine how much weight must be dropped overboard to make the balloon rise 107 m in 14.4 s.

Step 1: Find the upward acceleration. 
d = 107 m 
a = ??? 
vi = 0 
t = 14.4 sec 
d = vi * t + 1/2 at^2 
107 = 1/2 a * 14.4^2 
a = 214 / (14.4)^2 
a = 1.03 m/s^2 
Step 2: Find the Volume of the balloon and from that the mass. 

V = 4/3 * pi * r^3 
r = 6.52 m 
V = 4/3 x pi x 6.52^3
V= 1,161 m^3.
Density of air = m/V 1.29 = m/ 1161 
M = 1.29 x 1161
m = 1498 kg 
Step 3: The force keeping this in equilibrium = F = m* g 
F = 1498 * 9.81 = 14692 N 
Step 4: Find the mass needed to cause the upward acceleration. 
14692 = (1498 - x) * (9.81 + 1.03) 
14692 = (1498 - x) *  10.84 Divide both sides by 10.84 
1355.35 = 1022 - x 
1355.35 - 1022
x = 333.35 kg

The total sum of atoms in an object.
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Mass

Explanation:

The total sum of atoms in an object is the mass of the object. There are several ways to quantify the number of atoms in a substance.

  • In chemical calculations, the number of moles is a good representation of the number of atoms contained in a body.
  • Mass is the amount of substances a body has.
  • If we can sum up all the atoms in a substance, one will arrive at the mass of the substance

An instrument is thrown upward with a speed of 15 m/s on the surface of planet X where the acceleration due to gravity is 2.5 m/
Katen [24]
<h2>Answer: 12 s</h2>

Explanation:

The situation described here is parabolic movement. However, as we are told <u>the instrument is thrown upward</u> from the surface, we will only use the equations related to the Y axis.

In this sense, the main movement equation in the Y axis is:

y-y_{o}=V_{o}.t-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}    (1)

Where:

y  is the instrument's final position  

y_{o}=0  is the instrument's initial position

V_{o}=15m/s is the instrument's initial velocity

t is the time the parabolic movement lasts

g=2.5\frac{m}{s^{2}}  is the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of planet X.

As we know y_{o}=0  and y=0 when the object hits the ground, equation (1) is rewritten as:

0=V_{o}.t-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}    (2)

Finding t:

0=t(V_{o}-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2})   (3)

t=\frac{2V_{o}}{g}   (4)

t=\frac{2(15m/s)}{2.5\frac{m}{s^{2}}}   (5)

Finally:

t=12s

Why are lanthanum and actinium at the bottom of the periodic table?
7nadin3 [17]
The periodic table is organized in a way in which trends with certain things such as ionization energy or atomic radius would "work out". It also have increasing atomic mass.

It's also organized to tell you the electron and proton of each element, least to greatest. (the atomic number) Example: Chlorine has 17 protons and 17 e-
(Left to right)
(Top to bottom)

Lanthanum and actinium play the role of being in the bottom because of their large atomic radius and having many protons/electrons.
They're also in the F block for electron configuration.
