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 $= 0.96 \ kg/m^3$

A toy rocket launcher can project a toy rocket at a speed as high as 35.0 m/s.
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

(a) 62.5 m

(b) 7.14 s

Explanation:

initial speed, u = 35 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s^2

(a) Let the rocket raises upto height h and at maximum height the speed is zero.

Use third equation of motion

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as

0^{2}=35^{2}- 2 \times 9.8 \times h

h = 62.5 m

Thus, the rocket goes upto a height of 62.5 m.

(b) Let the rocket takes time t to reach to maximum height.

By use of first equation of motion

v = u + at

0 = 35 - 9.8 t

t = 3.57 s

The total time spent by the rocket in air = 2 t = 2 x 3.57 = 7.14 second.

Which quantities define momentum?
grigory [225]

Answer:

A. How much matter an object has, plus the magnitude and direction  of its motion

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as the product of mass by velocity, in the international system of measurements (SI) momentum has the following Units [kg*m/s].

P = m*v

where:

P = momentum Lineal [kg*m/s]

m = mass [kg]

v = velocity [m/s]

Therefore the answer is A) How much matter an object has, plus the magnitude and direction  of its motion
