The complete question is :

A hot-air balloon has a volume of 2100 m3 . The balloon fabric (the envelope) weighs 860 N . The basket with gear and full propane tanks weighs 1300 N .

If the balloon can barely lift an additional 3400 N of passengers, breakfast, and champagne when the outside air density is 1.23kg/m3, what is the average density of the heated gases in the envelope?

Solution :

Given volume of the hot air balloon $=2100 \ m^3$

The balloon fabric weights = 860 N

The weight of the basket with the gear and propane tank = 1300 N

Density of outside air $= 1.23 \ kg/m^3$

∴  Total pay load = Weight of the air displaced - weight of gas inside the balloon

Total pay load = 860 + 1300 + 3400

                        = 5560 N

Mass = density x volume

Weight  $= \text{mass} \times g$

Weight = volume x density $\times \text{ acceleration due to gravity (g)}$

Weight of the displaced air = 2100 x 1.23 x 9.8

                                             = 25313 N

Weight of the gas inside the balloon = density $\times \text{ acceleration due to gravity (g)}$ x volume

                                                             = density x 9.8 x 2100

                                                             = density x 20580 N

Therefore substituting the values, we get

⇒ 25313 - (density x 20580) = 5560

⇒ density $=\frac{19753}{20580}$

                 $= 0.96 \ kg/m^3$

So the density of the heated gas $= 0.96 \ kg/m^3$

Which is not a simple harmonic motion (S.H.M.) (a) Simple Pendulum (b) Projectile motion (c) None (d) Spring motion
Scrat [10]

Answer:

b) Projectile MOTION

Explanation:

SHM is periodic motion or to and fro motion of a particle about its mean position in a straight line

In this type of motion particle must be in straight line motion

So here we can say

a) Simple Pendulum : it is a straight line to and fro motion about mean position so it is a SHM

b) Projectile motion : it is a parabolic path in which object do not move to and fro about its mean position So it is not SHM

d) Spring Motion : it is a straight line to and fro motion so it is also a SHM

So correct answer will be

b) Projectile MOTION

A voltmeter was used to check the coolant and a reading of 0.2 volt with the engine off was measured. A reading of 0.8 volt was
Julli [10]

Answer:

C. Technician B

Explanation:

Excessive Galvanic activity:

To check for excessive galvanic activity, voltmeter is used to check the coolant. If the voltmeter is giving a reading greater than 0.5 V, there is excessive galvanic activity. Excessive galvanic activity is solved by flushing the coolant fluid from engine and refiling it.

Electrolysis problem:

When the system is not properly ground, the cooling system accepts stray current and the coolant becomes an electrolyte which might eat up the radiator. To test for excessive electrolysis, start the engine and turn on all electrical accessories, if the reading is more than 0.5 V, there is electrolysis problem. Ground wires and connections should be checked at this point to stop stray current.

In our case, the first reading is 0.2 V(engine turned off) which is normal and there is no excessive galvanic activity. This means that Technician A is not correct. The second reading is 0.8 V when the engine and all electrical accessories are turned on. This reading is greater than 0.5 V which means there is an electrolysis problem. This means that Technician B is correct and ground wires and connections should be inspected and repaired.
