A large helium filled balloon is used as the center piece for a graduation party. The balloon alone has a mass of 222 kg and it

is filled with helium gas until its volume is 328 m3. Assume the density of air is 1.20 kg/m3 and the density of helium is 0.179 kg/m3. Calculate the buoyant force acting on the balloon.

Answer:

The buoyant force is 3778.8 N in upward.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of balloon = 222 Kg

Volume = 328 m³

Density of air = 1.20 kg/m³

Density of helium = 0.179 kg/m³

We need to calculate the buoyant force acting

Using formula of buoyant force

$F_{b}=\rho_{air}\times V_{b}\times g$

Where, $\rho_{air}$ = density of air

V = Volume of balloon

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value into the formula

$F_{b}=1.20\times321\times9.81$

$F_{b}=3778.8\ N$

This buoyant force is in upward direction.

Hence, The buoyant force is 3778.8 N in upward.

A 9.00 g bullet is fired horizontally into a 1.20 kg wooden block resting on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic fr

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The initial speed of bullet is "164 m/s".

Explanation:

The given values are:

mass of bullet,

$m'=9.00 \ g$

or,

$=0.009 \ kg$

mass of wooden block,

$m=1.20 \ kg$

speed,

$s=0.390 \ m$

Coefficient of kinetic friction,

$\mu=0.20$

As we know,

The Kinematic equation is:

⇒ $v^2=u^2+2as$

then,

Initial velocity will be:

⇒ $u=v^2-2as$

$=v^2-2 \mu gs$

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒ $u=\sqrt{0-2\times 0.20\times 9.8\times 0.390}$

$=\sqrt{-1.5288}$

$=1.23 \ m/s$

As we know,

The conservation of momentum is:

⇒ $mu=m'u'$

or,

⇒ Initial speed, $u'=\frac{mu}{m'}$

On substituting the values, we get

⇒ $=\frac{1.20\times 1.23}{0.009}$

⇒ $=\frac{1.476}{0.009}$

⇒ $=164 \ m/s$

Calculate the temperature of the air mass when it has risen to a level at which atmospheric pressure is only 8.00×104 Pa . Assum

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

$T_{2}=278.80 K$

Explanation:

Let's use the equation that relate the temperatures and volumes of an adiabatic process in a ideal gas.

$(\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}})^{\gamma -1} = \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}$ .

Now, let's use the ideal gas equation to the initial and the final state:

$\frac{p_{1} V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{p_{2} V_{2}}{T_{2}}$

Let's recall that the term nR is a constant. That is why we can match these equations.

We can find a relation between the volumes of the initial and the final state.

$\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}}=\frac{T_{1}p_{2}}{T_{2}p_{1}}$

Combining this equation with the first equation we have:

$(\frac{T_{1}p_{2}}{T_{2}p_{1}})^{\gamma -1} = \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}$

$(\frac{p_{2}}{p_{1}})^{\gamma -1} = \frac{T_{2}^{\gamma}}{T_{1}^{\gamma}}$

Now, we just need to solve this equation for T₂.

$T_{1}\cdot (\frac{p_{2}}{p_{1}})^{\frac{\gamma - 1}{\gamma}} = T_{2}$

Let's assume the initial temperature and pressure as 25 °C = 298 K and 1 atm = 1.01 * 10⁵ Pa, in a normal conditions.

Here,

$p_{2}=8.00\cdot 10^{4} Pa \\p_{1}=1.01\cdot 10^{5} Pa\\ T_{1}=298 K\\ \gamma=1.40$

Finally, T2 will be:

$T_{2}=278.80 K$

A bicyclist starts at rest and speeds up to 30 m/s while accelerating at 4 m/s^2. Determine the distance traveled.

raketka [301]

Answer:

Distance, d = 112.5 meters

Explanation:

Initially, the bicyclist is at rest, u = 0

Final speed of the bicyclist, v = 30 m/s

Acceleration of the bicycle, $a=4\ m/s^2$

Let s is the distance travelled by the bicyclist. The third equation of motion is given as :

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}$

$s=\dfrac{(30)^2}{2\times 4}$

s = 112.5 meters

So, the distance travelled by the bicyclist is 112.5 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is true of the moon's orbital and rotational periods?

Eddi Din [679]

The moon's orbital and rotational periods are identical or the same, I<span>ts rate of spin is done in unison with its rate of revolution (the time that is needed to complete one orbit). Thus, the moon rotates exactly once every time it circles the Earth.</span>
