One man wanted to weigh the air. He blew a balloon and weighed it. Then he blew air out of the balloon and weighed again. The we

ight in both cases was the same. From this the man concluded that the air weighs nothing. Why is it wrong? Hint: What type of container should be Better used to measure the weight of air.

Answer:

Because there's buoyancy force

Explanation:

What is wrong here is that he assumes that gravity is the only force affecting the weight of the balloon on the scale here. In reality there's also buoyancy force which lifts the full blown balloon upwards.

A better type of container would be an air tank where its volume does not change when it's empty and when it's full of air.

A vertical spring withk= 245N/m oscillates with an amplitude of 19.2cm when 0.457kg hangs from it. The mass posses through the e
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

 y = -19.2 sin (23.15t) cm

Explanation:

The spring mass system is an oscillatory movement that is described by the equation

      y = yo cos (wt + φ)

Let's look for the terms of this equation the amplitude I

     y₀ = 19.2 cm

Angular velocity is

     w = √ (k / m)

     w = √ (245 / 0.457

     w = 23.15 rad / s

The φ phase is determined for the initial condition   t = 0 s ,  the velocity is negative v (0) = -vo

The speed of the equation is obtained by the derivative with respect to time

     v = dy / dt

     v = - y₀ w sin (wt + φ)

For t = 0

     -vo = -yo w sin φ

The angular and linear velocity are related v = w r

      v₀ = w r₀

      v₀ = v₀ sinφ

      sinφ = 1

      φ = sin⁻¹ 1

      φ = π / 4    rad

Let's build the equation

      y = 19.2 cos (23.15 t + π/ 4)

Let's use the trigonometric ratio π/ 4 = 90º

      Cos (a +90) = cos a cos90 - sin a sin sin 90 = 0 - sin a

       y = -19.2 sin (23.15t) cm

A watt is a measure of power (the rate of energy change) equal to 1 j>s. (a) calculate the number of joules in a kilowatt- ho
GalinKa [24]
Before solving this, you must know the definition of these units of measurement. Watt is a measurement of power which is the amount of energy per unit time in seconds. Energy, on the other hand, is expressed through the SI unit Joules. Thus, power is the amount of energy in Joules per second.

From here, you can use the dimensional analysis technique. Also, you should know that 1 kilowatt is equal to 1000 watts, and 24 hours is equal to 86,400 seconds. Then,

100 = Energy/86,400
Energy = 8,640,000 Joules

Two uniform spheres,each of mass 0.260kg are fixed at points A and B
Ivan

Answer:

a) 2.76x10^-9 m/s^2

b) downward

Explanation:

a) In order to do this, we need to use the newton's law of gravitation which is:

F = G.m/r²

Where:

G: Constant of gravitation (6.67x10^-11 N/m)

m: mass of the object

r: distance or radius of the object.

In this case, we have two spheres, so this law becomes:

F = G*m1*m2 / r²

Now, you are not providing a picture with this, however, this problem is very similar to one I solved before, so, I'm gonna use the same values to solve this. If, you have different values for the distance, just replace them in this procedure and should get the correct and more accurate answer.

In this case, the distance that separates sphere in P from sphere A and B is 10 cm. As both spheres have the same mass and they are at the same distance from P, we can assume that F1 = F2 so:

F1 = (6.67x10^-11) * (0.01) * (0.26) / (0.1)² = 1.73x10^-11 N

sphere at P, will roll downward to the middle of sphere A and B. The distance between these two points it's 8 cm (See picture attached)

Now, according to my data, they are exerting a force in the y axis, so:

F1y = Fy * senФ

senФ using trigonometry is:

senФ = opposite lenght / hipotenuse

senФ = 8/10 = 0.8

Replacing:

F1y = 1.73x10^-11 * 0.8 = 1.38x10^-11 N

This force it's exactly the same as F2y, so the total force is:

F = 1.38x10^-11 * 2 = 2.76x10^-11 N

Finally, using the second law of Newton:

F = m*a

Solving for a:

a = F/m

replacing:

a = 2.76x10^-11 / 0.01

a = 2.76x10^-9 m/s²

According to the picture and the value of this magnitude, it's going downward.
