How can we use the balloon experiment to prove that air has weight (even though we cannot see air)?

Answer:

The end of the meter stick with the deflated balloon should have risen into the air. ... The only way the balloon could have lost mass is if the air that was inside it has mass. With this experiment you have shown that air takes up space and has mass, so you have proven that air is matter.

Place an empty balloon on weighing machine, then fill it with air and place on weighing machine.

You will observe that air filled balloon has more weight than the empty balloon.

A mechanic uses a jack to lift up a car. He exerts a force of 11,000 N at a distance of 3m from the axis of rotation. How much t
pshichka [43]

Answer:

<h2>The amount of torque put on the car is 33,000Nm</h2>

Explanation:

Formula for calculating torque is expressed as T = rFsin\theta\\ where;

r is the radius of the  of the arm of the jack = 3m

F is the force exerted = 11000

\theta\\ is the angle of rotation = 90°

On substituting;

T = 3*11000sin90^{o} \\T = 3*11000 (sin90^{o} =1)\\T = 33000Nm

Solve each problem. Be sure to show your work and give a final answer with units rounded to the given number of significant figu
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

1. the voltage will be 2.35×12.5 = 29.4V

2. the resistance would be 9.0/6.2= 1.45ohms

3. in series they will add up thus 4+8+12= 24ohms

4. in parallel it will be 2.18ohms

A car initially traveling at 17.1 mph comes to rest in 9.7s what was its acceleration in this time?
ra1l [238]

Answer:

a=-.78m/s^2

Explanation:

Δv=at

  • Δv is the difference in velocity before and after a given time.
  • a is the acceleration of the object during this time.
  • t is time

(v_f-v_i)=at is another way to write this equation.

  • The Δ symbol represents "the difference between the initial and final values of a magnitude or vector", so Δv=(v_f-v_i)

v_f-v_i=at\\\frac{at}{t}=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}\\a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}

  • I rearranged this equation to solve for a, but this is a step that you don't need to take, it's just good to get in the habit of doing this.
  • Plug in the given values. Note that our final velocity is 0, because the car travels until at <em>rest</em>.

a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}\\a=\frac{(0)-[(17.1\frac{miles}{hour} )(\frac{hour}{3600s})(\frac{1609.34m}{mile})]}{9.7s}

  • Our initial velocity is in mph, something not in standard units, so if not changed, you will get an incorrect answer. What you need to do is cancel out the units your prior value had using division and multiplication, and at the same time multiply and divide the correct numbers and units into your equation. Or look up a converter.

a=\frac{(0)-[(17.1\frac{miles}{hour} )(\frac{hour}{3600s})(\frac{1609.34m}{mile})]}{9.7s}\\a=\frac{0m/s-7.6m/s}{9.7s} \\a=\frac{-7.6m/s}{9.7s}

  • if you converted correctly, your answer for v_f will be ≅ 7.6m/s.
  • Now divide. Notice that the units for acceleration are m/s^2 or <em>meters per second, per second</em>.

a=\frac{-7.6m/s}{9.7s}\\a=-.78m/s^2

  • Our final answer is <em>negative </em>because the car is <em>slowing down</em>. Do not square this answer as the square symbol only applies to the units, not the magnitude.

how much power is needed to lift a box with a force of 780 newtons over a distance of 2 meters in 45 seconds
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

<h2>34.67 W</h2>

Explanation:

Power is the rate at which work is done and can be found by using the formula

p =  \frac{w}{t}  \\

p is the power in Watts (W)

w is the workdone in joules

t is time in s

but workdone = force × distance

From the question

force = 780 N

distance = 2 m

workdone = 780 × 2 = 1560 N

Since we now have the value of workdone we can find the power

We have

p =  \frac{1560}{45}  = 34.6666666... \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>34.67 W</h3>

Hope this helps you
