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 particle moving along the x-axis has its position described by the function x=(3.00t3−1.00t 2.00)m where t is in s. at t = 4.0
prohojiy [21]
X =(3.00x4.00 x3-1.00t x 2.00) x m

x= (12.00x3- 1.00 x2.00) x m
x= 36.00 -1.00 x 2.00) x m
x = (36.00 -2.00) x m
x =( 34.00) x m
x =34.00   times m

In concave mirror, the size of image depends upon
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

The distance of the object placed on the principal axis from the concave mirror.

Explanation:

In a concave mirror, the nature of the image formed formed by the object placed in front of the mirror depends on the position of the object placed in from of the mirror. It all depends on the distance between the mirror and the object placed on the principal axis.

The closer the object is to the lens, the more larger or magnified the image formed will be. For example an object placed between the focal point and the pole of a concave produces a much larger image than an object placed beyond the centre of curvature of such mirror.
