Answer:

Light travels fastest in gas

Explanation:

Light is likely to hit a molecule and then gets re-emitted, extending the amount of time the light take to get through a certain distance of the medium

Gas > liquid > solid

A spherical balloon has a radius of 7.40 m and is filled with helium. Part A How large a cargo can it lift, assuming that the sk

malfutka [58]

Answer:

The mass of the cargo is $M = 188.43 \ kg$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The radius of the spherical balloon is $r = 7.40 \ m$

The mass of the balloon is $m = 990\ kg$

The volume of the spherical balloon is mathematically represented as

$V = \frac{4}{3} * \pi r^3$

substituting values

$V = \frac{4}{3} * 3.142 *(7.40)^3$

$V = 1697.6 \ m^3$

The total mass the balloon can lift is mathematically represented as

$m = V (\rho_h - \rho_a)$

where $\rho_h$ is the density of helium with a value of

$\rho_h = 0.179 \ kg /m^3$

and $\rho_a$ is the density of air with a value of

$\rho_ a = 1.29 \ kg / m^3$

substituting values

$m = 1697.6 ( 1.29 - 0.179)$

$m = 1886.0 \ kg$

Now the mass of the cargo is mathematically evaluated as

$M = 1886.0 - 1697.6$

$M = 188.43 \ kg$

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

A) F_g = 26284.48 N

B) v = 7404.18 m/s

C) E = 19.19 × 10^(10) J

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of satellite; m = 3500 kg

Mass of the earth; M = 6 x 10²⁴ Kg

Earth circular orbit radius; R = 7.3 x 10⁶ m

A) Formula for the gravitational force is;

F_g = GmM/r²

Where G is gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10^(-11) N.m²/kg²

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

F_g = (6.67 × 10^(-11) × 3500 × 6 x 10²⁴)/(7.3 x 10⁶)²

F_g = 26284.48 N

B) From the momentum principle, we have that the gravitational force is equal to the centripetal force.

Thus;

GmM/r² = mv²/r

Making v th subject, we have;

v = √(GM/r)

Plugging in the relevant values;

v = √(6.67 × 10^(-11) × 6 x 10²⁴)/(7.3 x 10⁶))

v = 7404.18 m/s

C) From the energy principle, the minimum amount of work is given by;

E = (GmM/r) - ½mv²

Plugging in the relevant values;

E = [(6.67 × 10^(-11) × 3500 × 6 × 10²⁴)/(7.3 x 10⁶)] - (½ × 3500 × 7404.18)

E = 19.19 × 10^(10) J

Z. A force that gives a 8-kg objet an acceleration of 1.6 m/s^2 would give a 2-kg object an

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf D.\ 6.4\ m/s^2}}$

Explanation:

We need to find the acceleration of the 2 kilogram object. Let's complete this in 2 steps.

<h3>1. Force of 1st Object </h3>

First, we can find the force of the first, 8 kilogram object.

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, force is the product of mass and acceleration.

$F=m \times a$

The mass of the object is 8 kilograms and the acceleration is 1.6 meters per square second.

m= 8 kg
a= 1.6 m/s²

Substitute these values into the formula.

$F= 8 \ kg * 1.6 \ m/s^2$

Multiply.

$F= 12.8 \ kg*m/s^2$

<h3>2. Acceleration of the 2nd Object </h3>

Now, use the force we just calculated to complete the second part of the problem. We use the same formula:

$F= m \times a$

This time, we know the force is 12.8 kilograms meters per square second and the mass is 2 kilograms.

F= 12.8 kg *m/s²
m= 2 kg

Substitute the values into the formula.

$12.8 \ kg*m/s^2= 2 \ kg *a$

Since we are solving for the acceleration, we must isolate the variable (a). It is being multiplied by 2 kg. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the equation by 2 kg.

$\frac {12.8 \ kg*m/s^2}{2 \ kg}= \frac{2\ kg* a}{2 \ kg}$

$\frac {12.8 \ kg*m/s^2}{2 \ kg}=a$

The units of kilograms cancel.

$\frac {12.8}{2}\ m/s^2=a$

$6.4 \ m/s^2=a$

The acceleration is 6.4 meters per square second.
