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.

Need help with 6 , 7 , and 8.

Six.

If you want to double the force, you need to double either v or B. Changing the angle does not give totally predictable results. The formula is

F = q*v*B Sin(theta) altering theta isn't linear. Doubling B is. The answer is A

Seven

Seven is correct. The poles on a magnet is where the field is the strongest.

Eight

I can't really answer this question. Much depends on where you are and whether or not the readings are true or erratic. It is taking only one parameter into account where in reality there are many. My guess would be that as you move up the longitude the angle increases. So the answer would be near but not at the north pole. Seek out your notes for confirmation.

Answer:

For a velocity versus time graph how do you know what the velocity is at a certain  time?

Ans: By drawing a line parallel to the y axis (Velocity axis) and perpendicular to the co-ordinate of the Time on the x axis (Time Axis). The point on the slope of the graph where this line intersects, will be the desired velocity at the certain time.

_____________________________________________________

How do you know the acceleration at a certain time?

Ans: We\ know\ that\ acceleration = \frac{Final\ velocity-Initial\ Velocity}{Time\ taken}

Hence,

By dividing the difference of the Final and Initial Velocity by the Time Taken, we could find the acceleration.

_________________________________________________________

How do you know the  Displacement at a certain time?

Ans: As Displacement equals to the area enclosed by the slope of the Velocity-Time Graph, By finding the area under the slope till the perpendicular at the desired time, we find the Displacement.
