The mass of a hot-air balloon and its occupants is 381 kg (excluding the hot air inside the balloon). The air outside the balloo

n has a pressure of 1.01 x 105 Pa and a density of 1.29 kg/m3. To lift off, the air inside the balloon is heated. The volume of the heated balloon is 480 m3. The pressure of the heated air remains the same as that of the outside air. To what temperature in kelvins must the air be heated so that the balloon just lifts off

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_gg = 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_gg = 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_gRT

T = μPV / m_gR -------- 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

| A 1.0 kg stone is dropped from a bridge 100 m above a canyon. What will be the kinetic energy of the stone after it
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Option D

490 J

Explanation:

When at a height of 100 am above and released, the ball initially posses only potential energy. When it falls, some potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

Initial potential energy= mgh where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is height. Substituting 1 Kg for m, 9.81 for g and 100 m for h then

PE initial = 1*9.81*100= 981 J

At 50 m, PE will be 1*9.81*50=490.5 J

Subtracting PE at 50 m from initial PE we get the energy that has been converted to kinetic energy hence

981-490.5= 490.5 J

Approximately, 490 J

Cuando una persona sube y baja una escalera, Cuanto vale su desplazamiento y cual es la medida de su trayectoria.
adoni [48]

Answer:

Primero, definimos el desplazamiento como la distancia entre la posición final y la posición inicial.

Así, si comenzamos abajo, luego subimos la escalera, y luego bajamos, la posición final y la posición inicial serán la misma

por lo que el desplazamiento es igual a cero.

La medida recorrida es el espacio total recorrido.

Es decir, si entre el principio y el final de la escalera hay una distancia D.

La persona que sube y baja, recorre esta distancia dos veces.

Entonces cuando una persona sube y baja la escalera, la medida de su trayectoria será 2*D.

An object moves in one dimensional motion with constant acceleration a = 4.2 m/s^2. At time t = 0 s, the object is at x0 = 3.9 m
solong [7]

Answer:

The object will move to Xfinal = 7.5m

Explanation:

By relating the final velocity of the object and its acceleration, I can obtain the time required to reach this velocity point:

Vf= a × t ⇒ t= (7.2 m/s) / (4.2( m/s^2)) = 1,7143 s

With the equation of the total space traveled and the previously determined time I can obtain the end point of the object on the x-axis:

Xfinal= X0 + /1/2) × a × (t^2) = 3.9m + (1/2) × 4.2( m/s^2) × ((1,7143 s) ^2) =

= 3.9m + 3.6m = 7.5m

A Ray of light in air is incident on an air to glass boundary at an angle of 30. degrees with the normal. If the index of refrac
elena55 [62]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Snell's law states:

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where n is the index of refraction and θ is the angle of incidence (relative to the normal).

The index of refraction of air is approximately 1.  So:

1 sin 30° = 1.52 sin θ

θ ≈ 19°
