Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

The volume of the balloon is

V = 440 × 10³ m³

Buoyant force F?

Given the density of the surrounding to be 2.58 kg/m³

ρ = 2.58 kg/m³

The buoyant force is the weight of water displaced and it is calculated using

F_b = ρVg

Where

F_b is buoyant force

ρ is density

V is the volume of the liquid displace.

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Then,

F_b = ρVg

F_b = 2.58 × 440 × 10³ × 9.81

F_b = 1.1 × 10^7 N

A 5.0 kg wooden block is placed at an adjustable inclined plane. what is the angle of incline above which the block will start t
Aleks [24]
The value of the angle of the incline \theta at which the block starts to slide is the angle at which the component of the weight parallel to the incline becomes equal to the frictional force that keeps the block on the incline:
mg \sin \theta = \mu N
where the term on the left is the component of the weight parallel to the incline, and the term on the right is the frictional force, which is the product between the coefficient of friction \mu and the normal reaction of the incline N.

The normal reaction of the incline, N, is equal to the component of the weight perpendicular to the incline:
N=mg \cos \theta
Therefore, the initial equation becomes
mg \sin \theta = \mu mg \cos \theta
From which we find
\tan \theta = \mu
\theta = \arctan \mu

For angles above this value, the block will start sliding down, otherwise the block will stay on the incline.

Describe the process of electricity generation and the efficiency and economics of it
Mrac [35]

Answer:

The process of producing electric energy or the amount of electric energy produced by transforming other forms of energy into electrical energy; commonly expressed in kilowatt-hours (kWh) or megawatt-hours (MWh). Electric power plant efficiency η is defined as the ratio between the useful electricity output from the generating unit, in a specific time, and the energy value of the energy source supplied to the unit in the same time period.  For electricity generation based on steam turbines 65% of all prime energy is wasted as heat.  The maximum theoretical energy efficiency is defined in more detail by the Rankine cycle. For modern practical systems this is about 40% but less for older generating plant.  The efficiency falls still further if fuels with lower energy content such as biomass are used to supply the plant. The economics of power generation based on reciprocating engines depends to a large extent on the use to which the engine is to be put. The cheapest engines available are small petrol-driven engines based on car engines, which are manufactured in large numbers each year.

A ball is dropped from the rest from a high window of a tall building and called for 4 seconds. Neglecting air resistance, the f
diamong [38]

Answer:

-39.2m/s

Explanation:

Given that :

t = 4secs

g = -9.8m/s^2

v = ?

u = 0m/s ( since it was at rest )

V = u +at............. 1

Where v is the final velocity

a = -g = -9.8m/s^2 since the ball was dropped from a height which will eventually make it move against gravity

t = 4secs

Substitute the values into 1

v = 0 - 9.8×4

v = -39.2m/s
