Answer:

In order to lift off the ground, the air in the balloon must be heated to 710.26 K

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

P = 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa

V = 480 m³

ρ = 1.29 kg/m³

M = 381 kg

we know that; R = 8.31 J/mol.K and the molecular mass of air μ = 29 × 10⁻³ kg/mol

let F represent the force acting upward.

Now in a condition where the hot air balloon is just about to take off;

F - Mg - m $_g$ g = 0

where M is the mass of the balloon and its occupants, m $_g$ is the mass of the hot gas inside the balloon.

the force acting upward F = Vρg

so

Vρg - Mg - m $_g$ g = 0

solve for m $_g$

m $_g$ = ( Vρg - Mg ) / g

m $_g$ = Vρg/g - Mg/g

m $_g$ = ρV - M ------- let this be equation 1

Now, from the ideal gas law, PV = nRT

we know that number of moles n = m $_g$ / μ

where μ is the molecular mass of air

so

PV = (m $_g$ /μ)RT

solve for T

μPV = m $_g$ RT

T = μPV / m $_g$ R -------- let this be equation 2

from equation 1 and 2

T = μPV / (ρV - M)R

so we substitute in our values;

P = 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa

V = 480 m³

ρ = 1.29 kg/m³

M = 381 kg

we know that; R = 8.31 J/mol.K and the molecular mass of air μ = 29 × 10⁻³ kg/mol

T = [ (29 × 10⁻³) × (1.01 × 10⁵) × 480 ] / [ (( 1.29 × 480 ) - 381)8.31 ]

T = 1405920 / 1979.442

T = 710.26 K

Therefore, In order to lift off the ground, the air in the balloon must be heated to 710.26 K

Explains this: a light source can emit more than one type of light

Radda [10]

Answer:

The electromagnetic spectrum comprise a lot of waves length. Usually, different waves length are called as different lights, and a light source can emit in more than a different wave length, as the sun does, for example. The sun emit the visible light, UV light, infrared, etc.

A 10 cm diameter pulley is used to lift a bucket of cement weighing 400 N. How much force must be applied to the rope to lift th

Alina [70]

hi brainly user! ૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა

⊱┈────────────────────────┈⊰

$\large \bold {ANSWER}$

Considering that the pulley is fixed, the force applied should be equal to the weight of the object - of 400N.

$\large \bold {EXPLANATION}$

Pulleys or pulleys are mechanical tools used to assist in the movement of objects and bodies. There are two types of pulleys: fixed and movable. While the fixed pulley changes the direction of force, the moving pulley helps to decrease the force needed to move the object or body in question.

As the statement only tells us a pulley, we must consider that it is fixed, <u>because generally when it is mobile, this information is highlighted in the question</u>.

In this way, a fixed pulley only changes the direction of the applied force. Thus, the force must have the same magnitude as the weight of the object to be moved. If the bucket weighs 400N, the force applied to the pulley must be 400N.

<u>Therefore, having a fixed pulley, the force applied must be equal to the weight of the object, and will be 400N.</u>

A fluid in an aquifer is 23.6 m above a reference datum, the fluid pressure (in gage pressure) is 4390 n/m2 and the flow velocit

Phoenix [80]

As per Bernuolli's Theorem total energy per unit mass is given as

$\frac{P}{\rho} + \frac{1}{2}v^2 + gH = E$

now from above equation

$P = 4390 N/m^2$

$\rho = 0.999 * 10^3$

$v = 7.22 * 10^{-4} m/s$

$H = 23.6 m$

now by above equation

$\frac{4390}{0.999*10^3} + \frac{1}{2}*(7.22*10^{-4})^2 + 9.8*23.6 = E$

$E = 235.7 J/kg$

Part B)

Now energy per unit weight

$U = \frac{E}{g}$

$U = \frac{235.7}{9.8}$

$U = 24 m$

The engineer of a passenger train traveling at 25.0 m/s sights a freight train whose caboose is 200 m ahead on the same track. T

zaharov [31]

a) The train collide after 22.5 seconds

b) The trains collide at the location x = 537.5 m

c) See graph in attachment

d) The freight train must have a head start of 500 m

e) The deceleration must be smaller (towards negative value) than $-0.25 m/s^2$

f) The two trains avoid collision if the acceleration of the freight train is at least $0.35 m/s^2$

Explanation:

a)

We can describe the position of the passenger train at time t with the equation

$x_p(t)=u_p t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

where

$u_p = 25.0 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the passenger train

$a=-0.100 m/s^2$ is the deceleration of the train

On the other hand, the position of the freight train is given by

$x_f(t)=x_0 + v_f t$

where

$x_0=200 m$ is the initial position of the freight train

$v_f = 15.0 m/s$ is the constant velocity of the train

The collision occurs if the two trains meet, so

$x_p(t)=x_f(t)\\u_pt+\frac{1}{2}at^2=x_0+v_ft\\25t+\frac{1}{2}(-0.100)t^2=200+15t\\0.050t^2-10t+200=0$

This is a second-order equation that has two solutions:

t = 22.5 s

t = 177.5 s

We are interested in the 1st solution, which is the first time at which the passenger train collides with the freight train, so t = 22.5 seconds.

b)

In order to find the location of the collision, we just need to substitute the time of the collision into one of the expression of the position of the trains.

The position of the freight train is

$x_f(t)=x_0 +v_ft$

And substituting t = 22.5 s, we find:

$x_f(22.5)=200+(15)(22.5)=537.5 m$

We can verify that the passenger train is at the same position at the time of the collision:

$x_p(22.5)=(25.0)(22.5)+\frac{1}{2}(-0.100)(22.5)^2=537.5 m$

So, the two trains collide at x = 537.5 m.

c)

In the graph in attachment, the position-time graph of each train is represented. We have:

The freight train is moving at constant speed, therefore it is represented with a straight line with constant slope (the slope corresponds to its velocity, so 15.0 m/s)
The passenger train has a uniformly accelerated motion, so it is a parabola: at the beginning, the slope (the velocity) is higher than that of the freight train, however later it decreases due to the fact that the train is decelerating

The two trains meet at t = 22.5 s, where the position is 537.5 m.

d)

In order to avoid the collision, the freight train must have a initial position of

$x_0'$

such that the two trains never meet.

We said that the two trains meet if:

$x_p(t)=x_f(t)\\u_p t + \frac{1}{2}at^2=x_0' + v_f t$

Re-arranging,

$\frac{1}{2}at^2+(u_p-v_f)t-x_0'=0\\-\frac{1}{2}at^2+(v_f-u_p)t+x_0'=0$

Substituting the values for the acceleration and the velocity,

$0.05t^2-10t+x_0'=0$

The solution of this equation is given by the formula

$t=\frac{+10\pm \sqrt{10^2-4\cdot 0.05 \cdot x_0'}}{2(0.05)}$

The two trains never meet if the discrimant is negative (so that there are no solutions to the equation), therefore

$10^2-4\cdot 0.05 \cdot x_0'100\\x_0'>500 m$

Therefore, the freight train must have a head start of 500 m.

e)

In this case, we want to find the acceleration $a'$ of the passenger train such that the two trains do not collide.

We solve the problem similarly to part d):

$x_p(t)=x_f(t)\\u_p t + \frac{1}{2}a't^2=x_0 + v_f t$

Re-arranging

$\frac{1}{2}a't^2+(u_p-v_f)t-x_0=0\\-\frac{1}{2}a't^2+(v_f-u_p)t+x_0=0$

Substituting,

$-0.5at^2-10t+200=0$

The solution to this equation is

$t=\frac{+10\pm \sqrt{10^2-4\cdot (-0.5a') \cdot (200)}}{2(0.05)}$

Again, the two trains never meet if the discriminant is negative, so

$10^2-4\cdot (-0.5a') \cdot (200)$

So, the deceleration must be smaller (towards negative value) than $-0.25 m/s^2$

f)

In this case, the motion of the freight train is also accelerated, so its position at time t is given by

$x_f(t)=x_0 + v_f t + \frac{1}{2}a_ft^2$

where $a_f$ is the acceleration of the freight train.

Then we solve the problem similarly to the previous part: the two trains collide if their position is the same,

$x_p(t)=x_f(t)\\u_p t + \frac{1}{2}at^2=x_0 + v_f t+\frac{1}{2}a_ft^2$

Re-arranging,

$\frac{1}{2}(a_f-a)t^2+(v_f-u_p)t+x_0=0\\\\\frac{1}{2}(a_f-0.100)t^2-10t+200=0$

And the solution is

$t=\frac{+10\pm \sqrt{10^2-4\cdot (0.5a_f-0.05) \cdot (200)}}{2(0.5a_f-0.05)}$

Again, the two trains avoid collision if the discriminant is negative, so

$10^2-4\cdot (0.5a_f-0.05) \cdot (200)0.35 m/s^2$
