A hot-air balloon is rising upward with a constant speed of 2.85 m/s. When the balloon is 2.50 m above the ground, the balloonis

t accidentally drops a compass over the side of the balloon. How much time elapses before the compass hits the ground

NISA [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

You have to declare which way is plus -- up or down. I will use down.

vi = - 2.85       The balloon is going up. That is the minus direction.

a = 9.81

d =   2.50 meters  distance in this case is from the object to the ground.

d = vi*t + 1/2 a t^2

-2.50 = -2.85*t + 1/2 * 9.81 * t^2

-2.50 = -2.85*t + 4.905 * t^2           transfer the left to the right.

-4.905 t^2 + 2.85*t + 2.50 = 0

Use the quadratic formula to solve for t.

It turns out that t = 1.06

Which of the following is a vector quantity?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

B. 30 m down

Explanation:

In physics we have two types of quantities:

- Scalar quantity: it is a quantity which only has a magnitude (e.g: mass and time are scalar quantities, since they only have a magnitude)

- Vector quantity: it is a quantity which has both a magnitude and a direction (e.g: velocity is a vector quantity, since it has a magnitude (the speed) and a direction)

In this problem, we have:

A. 100 ounces of water  --> scalar (this is a volume, which has only a magnitude)

B. 30 m down  --> vector (this is a displacement, which has both a magnitude (30 m) and a direction (down)

C. 88 mi/s  --> scalar (this is a speed, which has only a magnitude)

D. 45 gallons in a bucket --> scalar (this is a volume, which has only a magnitude)

So, the correct option is B.

Which best compares radiation and conduction?
Karolina [17]

Answer:

The statements that best compares radiation and conduction are the following: both transfer thermal energy from warm objects to cooler objects and both can transfer energy through matter. The difference is that conduction is through direct heat transfer; whereas, radiation transfers heat through waves.

If both mass and velocity of a ball are tripled, the kinetic energy is increased by a factor of:.
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

the answer is 27

Explanation:

1/2mv^2 = KE

if mass is 3, and velocity is 3 (3^2 = 9)

then KE increases by a factor of 27

16 grams of ice at –32°C is to be changed to steam at 172°C. The entire process requires _____ cal. Round your answer to the nea
inysia [295]

Answer:12,352 cal

Explanation:

Given

to change 16 gm ice at -32^{\circ}C to 172^{\circ}C

First we need to take ice to 0^{\circ}Cthen change its state to water and then raises water temperature from 0 to 100^{\circ}C .

After it change water phase to steam and then raise its temperature to 172^{\circ}C

heat required(Q)=16\times 0.5\times \left ( 0+32\right )+16\times 80+16\times 1\times \left ( 100-0\right )+16\times 540+16\times 0.5\times \left ( 172-100\right )

Q=12,352 cal

Galileo discovered that which planet undergoes phases as viewed from earth?
balu736 [363]
<h2>Answer: Venus</h2>

Galileo was the first to use the telescope to observe the heavens, mainly observing the Moon, the Sun with its sunspots, Jupiter with its moons and Venus (in the early 1600s).

In the case of Venus, he observed that it presented phases (such as those of the moon) together with a variation in size; observations that are only compatible with the fact that Venus rotates around the Sun and not around Earth.

This is because Venus presented its smaller size when it is in full phase and the largest size when it is in the new one, when it is between the Sun and the Earth.

These images along with other discoveries were presented to the Catholic Church (which supported the <u>geocentric theory</u> for that time) as a proof that completely refutes Ptolemy's geocentric system and affirms <u>Copernicus' heliocentric theory.</u>
