Balloons are sometimes filled with helium gas because it has a mass only about one-seventh that of air under identical condition

s. The buoyancy force, which may be expressed as Fb = ????air g Vballoon, will push the balloon upward. If the balloon has a diameter of 10 m and carries two people having a mass of 70 kg each and the mass of the gondola is 64 kg, determine the acceleration of the balloon when it is first released. Assume that the density of the air is ????air = 1.16 kg/m3 , and neglect the weight of the ropes and balloon envelope fab

Answer:

10.1 m /s²

Explanation:

Let m₁ be the mass of the helium gas inside balloon. Mass of air displaced  is m₂

m₁ = volume x density

= 4/3 x 3.14 x 5³ x .179

= 93.67  kg

mass of displaced air

= 4/3 x 3.14 x 5³ x 1.16

= 607.06 kg

Net buoyant force in upward direction

(607.06 - 93.67 ) x g

= 5031.22 N

weight of people and gondola

= (2 x 70 + 64 ) x 9.8

= 1999.2 N

Net force in upward direction

= 5031.22 - 1999.2

= 3032.02 N

Acceleration produced

= 3032.02 / total mass

= 3032.02 / ( 93.67 +204 )

= 3032.02 / 297.67

= 10.1 m /s²

compare and contrast the results of a crash while the passengers are not wearing seat belts and while they are wearing seat belt
timofeeve [1]
One comparison is that both people in the cars (whether they were wearing a seat belt or not) is that they sustain injuries. People are obviously going to get hurt in a crash. A prime difference though is how big of an injury it is. People who were wearing seat belts at the time of a crash are less likely to have serious injuries, while those who weren't wearing seat belts have a higher possibility of sustaining really serious injuries.

(Flair?) Two species of fish live in the same pond. One species reproduces sexually, and the other reproduces asexually. One day
morpeh [17]

Answer is asexully

Explanation:

for every two sexully producing fish there is one offspring. but for every one asexuall producing fish there is one offspring. so if the asexual fish prodececes more than there will be more than the sexually producing fish.

If you are given time and distance, you can determine power if you know force. watts. energy. joules.
DENIUS [597]
If you are given time and distance, you can determine power if you know force. watts. energy. joules.

Answer is joules.     

Power is defined as the rate of doing work. Hence power = work / time then you obtain watts. Work is the product of force and displacement (distance). Hence in formula, w = F x s. In which the S.I unit of work is joule in the product. This is what you have to obtain in order to calculate for power.

A girl running around a circular track of radius 200 m completes one
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

v = 2 m/s

Explanation:

First, we find the angular velocity of the girl by using the following formula:

Angular\ Velocity =\omega= \frac{Angular\ Distance\ Covered}{Time\ Taken}\\\\\omega = \frac{1\ revolution}{10\ min}\frac{1\ min}{60\ s}\frac{2\pi\ rad}{1\ revolution}\\\\\omega = 0.01\ rad/s

Now, for the average velocity of the girl we can use the following formula:

Average\ Velocity = V = r\omega\\V = (200\ m)(0.01\ rad/s)\\

where,

r = radius = 200 m

therefore,

<u>v = 2 m/s</u>
