Answer and Explanation:

a. An oxygen-filled balloon is not able to float in the air, because the oxygen inside the balloon is of the same density, that is, the same "weight" as the oxygen outside the balloon and present in the atmosphere. The balloon can only float if the gas inside it is less dense than atmospheric oxygen. Helium gas is less dense than atmospheric gas, so if a balloon is filled with helium gas, that balloon will be able to float because of the difference in density.

b. The ship is able to float in the water because its steel construction is hollow and full of air. This makes the average density of this ship less than the density of water, which makes the ship lighter than water and for this reason, this ship is able to float. In addition, the ship is partially immersed, allowing the weight of the ship on the water to counteract the buoyant force that the water promotes on the ship. Weight and buoyant are two opposing forces that keep the ship afloat.

A bicycle rider pushes a 13kg bicycle up a steep hill. the incline is 24 degree and the road is 275m long. the rider pushes the

Digiron [165]

Answer:

A. W = 6875.0 J.

B. W = -14264.6 J.

Explanation:

A. The work done by the rider can be calculated by using the following equation:

$W_{r} = |F_{r}|*|d|*cos(\theta_{1})$

Where:

$F_{r}$ : is the force done by the rider = 25 N

d: is the distance = 275 m

θ: is the angle between the applied force and the distance

Since the applied force is in the same direction of the motion, the angle is zero.

$W_{r} = |F_{r}|*|d|*cos(0) = 25 N*275 m = 6875.0 J$

Hence, the rider does a work of 6875.0 J on the bike.

B. The work done by the force of gravity on the bike is the following:

$W_{g} = |F_{g}|*|d|*cos(\theta_{2})$

The force of gravity is given by the weight of the bike.

$F_{g} = -mgsin(24)$

And the angle between the force of gravity and the direction of motion is 180°.

$W_{g} = |mgsin(24)|*|d|*cos(\theta_{2})$

$W_{g} = 13 kg*9.81 m/s^{2}*sin(24)*275 m*cos(180) = -14264.6 J$

The minus sign is because the force of gravity is in the opposite direction to the motion direction.

Therefore, the magnitude of the work done by the force of gravity on the bike is 14264.6 J.

I hope it helps you!

If a truck has the mass of 2,000 kilometres and a velocity of 35 m/s, what is the momentum

alexira [117]

Answer:

<h2>70,000 kg.m/s</h2>

Explanation:

The momentum of an object can be found by using the formula

momentum = mass × velocity

From the question we have

momentum = 2000 × 35

We have the final answer as

<h3>70,000 kg.m/s</h3>

Hope this helps you

A bus driver drove her bus for 5 miles. She drove that distance in a total of 30 minutes. What was the truck driver's average sp

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

$\mathrm{b.\:}0.17\:\mathrm{miles/minute}$

Explanation:

Average speed is given by $S=\frac{d}{t}$ where $d$ is total distance and $t$ is time.

Plugging in given values, we get:

$S=\frac{5\:\mathrm{miles}}{30\:\mathrm{minutes}}=\fbox{$\mathrm{b.\:}0.17\:\mathrm{miles/minute}$}$ .
