Given :
The mass of the balloon was 1890 kg and had a volume of 11,430 m3 .
The balloon floats at a constant height of 6.25m above the ground.
To Find :
The density of the hot air in the balloon.
Solution :
We know,
Volume × ( Density of surrounding air - Density of hot air ) = mass
Putting given values in above equation, we get :
Therefore, the density of hot air in the balloon is 1.125 kg m³.
Answer:
a) S = 63.2 km/h
b) V = 63.2 km/h*(-0.316 , 0.949)
Explanation:
Let's define:
North as the positive y-axis
East as the positive x-axis.
Also, remember the relation:
Distance = Time*Speed
Let's assume that she starts at the position (0km, 0km)
Then she travels due North at 90km/h for two hours, then the displacement is
90km/h*2h = 180km to the north
Then the new position is:
(0km, 180km)
Then she travels West at 60km/h for one hour.
Then the distance traveled to the West (negative x-axis) is:
60km/h*1h = 60km to the west
Then the new position is:
(-60km, 180km).
a) The average speed is defined as the quotient between the displacement and the time.
We know that the total time traveled is 3 hours.
And the displacement is the difference between the final position and the initial position.
this is:
D = √( -60km - 0km)^2 + (180km - 0km)^2)=
D = √( (60km)^2 + (180km)^2) = 189.7 km
Then the average speed is:
S = (189.7 km)/(3 h) = 63.2 km/h
b) Now we want to find the average velocity, this will be equal to the average speed times a versor that points from the origin to the direction of the final position.
So, if the final position is (-60km, 180km)
We need to find a vector that represents the same angle, but that is on the unit circle.
Then, if the module of the final position is 189.7 km (as we found above), then the versor is just given by:
(-60km/ 189.7 km, 180km/ 189.7 km)
(-60/189.7 , 180/189.7)
We can just check that the module of the above versor is 1.
Then the average velocity is:
V = 63.2 km/h*(-60/189.7 , 180/189.7)
We can simplify our versor so the velocity equation is easier to read:
V = 63.2 km/h*(-0.316 , 0.949)
