No force is required to lift that balloon. In fact, force is required to hold it down, and if you let go, it's up, up, and away.
Since the balloon's density is less than the density of the air around it, it's lighter than the air it displaces, there is a net upward buoyant force acting on it, and it floats up !
The answer is 18000 J
I hope this helps!^^ , if you need the work to be shown please tell me, I hope you have a great day!^^
M= ?
g=9.8 m/s (2)
h=20 m
Eg=362,600 J
Eg/mg
362,600 J/9.8 m/s (2) x 20 m
=1,850 m
I believe the answer is B. that's where the asetroid belt is.
To change from mass to weight is Fw = 30 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 294 N. To change from weight to mass divide by gravity (9.8 m/s^2).
