Four forces act on a hot-air balloon, as shown

dolphi86 [110]

The magnitude of the resultant force on the balloon is 374.13 N.

The given forces from the image;

Upward force = 514 N
Downward force = 267 N
Eastward force = 678 N
Westward force = 397 N

The net vertical force on the balloon is calculated as follows;

$F_y = 514 \ N \ \ - \ \ 267 \ N\\\\F_y = 247 \ N$

The net horizontal force on the balloon is calculated as follows;

$F_x = 678 \ N \ - \ 397 \ N\\\\F_x = 281 \ N$

The magnitude of the resultant force on the balloon is calculated as follows;

$F = \sqrt{F_y^2 + F_x^2} \\\\F = \sqrt{(247)^2 + (281)^2} \\\\F= 374.13 \ N$

Thus, the magnitude of the resultant force on the balloon is 374.13 N.

Jeff puts on a leather jacket over his sweater. The sweater becomes negatively charged. Which statements about Jeff’s situation

KiRa [710]

The sweater has a tendency to attract electrons.

The leather jacket has a lower tendency to attract electrons than the sweater.

Explanation:

The sweater and the leather jackets are made up of distinct fabrics that based on their minutest particles called an atom.

An atom is made up of sub-atomic particles of protons, neutrons and electrons.

Electrons occupies the bulk volume of the atom and they are easily lost in atoms that are big. They are negatively charged.
Protons are positively charged and are very difficult to lose. They occupy the tiny nucleus with neutrons.
A body that becomes negatively charged will be said to have a hihg tendency to attract electrons. Normally atoms are electrically neutral. When additional electrons are added to them, they become negatively charged.
In this case, the sweater has a high affinity for electrons and it will attract the ones on the leather jacket.
The leather jacket has a low tendency to attract electrons than the sweater and it will lose some of its electrons to the sweater.

When a condenser discharges electricity, the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is proportional to the voltage in the c

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

460.52 s

Explanation:

Since the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is proportional to the voltage in the condenser, we have that

dV/dt ∝ V

dV/dt = kV

separating the variables, we have

dV/V = kdt

integrating both sides, we have

∫dV/V = ∫kdt

㏑(V/V₀) = kt

V/V₀ = $e^{kt}$

Since the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is -0.01 of the voltage dV/dt = -0.01V

Since dV/dt = kV

-0.01V = kV

k = -0.01

So, V/V₀ = $e^{-0.01t}$

V = V₀ $e^{-0.01t}$

Given that the voltage decreases by 90 %, we have that the remaining voltage (100 % - 90%)V₀ = 10%V₀ = 0.1V₀

So, V = 0.1V₀

Thus

V = V₀ $e^{-0.01t}$

0.1V₀ = V₀ $e^{-0.01t}$

0.1V₀/V₀ = $e^{-0.01t}$

0.1 = $e^{-0.01t}$

to find the time, t it takes the voltage to decrease by 90%, we taking natural logarithm of both sides, we have

㏑(0.01) = -0.01t

So, t = ㏑(0.01)/-0.01

t = -4.6052/-0.01

t = 460.52 s

The transverse standing wave on a string fixed at both ends is vibrating at its fundamental frequency of 250 Hz. What would be t

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Explanation:

fundamental frequency, f = 250 Hz

Let T be the tension in the string and length of the string is l ans m be the mass of the string initially.

the formula for the frequency is given by

$f=\frac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\frac{Tl}{m}}$ .... (1)

Now the length is doubled ans the tension is four times but the mass remains same.

let the frequency is f'

$f'=\frac{1}{2\times 2l}\sqrt{\frac{4T\times 2l}{m}}$ .... (2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1)

f' = √2 x f

f' = 1.414 x 250

f' = 353.5 Hz

Dry cells become soft even when not in use. Explain.

mamaluj [8]

This is possible due to self-discharge. Very small internal currents inevitably occur in these cells over time and they will eventually exhaust the chemistry.
