What would happen to the gondola if it became separated from envelope while the blimp was in flight?

Answer:

The gondola, if separated from the envelope when the blimp is aloft, would plummet right to the ground.

Explanation:

A blimp is a <em>non-rigid airship</em> (it has no internal <em>framework</em>), and it is also known as a "dirigible". It is kept aloft because of the pressure of <em>helium</em> (lifting gas) in the <em>envelope</em> and the strength the envelope does to keep its own shape.

To understand what would happen to the <em>gondola</em> if it became loose from the <em>envelope</em> while the <em>blimp</em> is in flight, let us revise the main blimp components:

  • ENVELOPE: the blimp body has <em>two layers</em>, the <em>bladder</em> (internal) and the <em>envelope</em> (external). The envelope protects the bladder from <em>punctures</em>, for example. Inside the envelope there are <em>cable systems</em> called <em>curtains</em> that support the gondola's weight - they are attached to it. The helium internal pressure regulates the envelope's shape.
  • GONDOLA: this is the blimp <em>passenger</em> <em>car</em>, and it resembles any other aircraft car. It may be internally attached to the blimp by a <em>load curtain</em> or to the envelope's sides from the outside. The <em>gondola</em> carries the blimp <em>control and propeller pannels, temperature controls, pressure controls, the fuel radar and all the electrical systems</em>. The <em>crew</em> inside the gondola can control and navigate the blimp.

If the gondola gets separated from the envelope while the blimp was in flight, what would happen is that it would come loose and plummet from the sky. The reason is that the gondola is attached to the envelope by means of cable curtains.

Communists agree with the free enterprise system.<br> True<br> False
inn [45]
False. <span>Communism is an internally stable economic system, in that those that participate benefit and those that don't are culled - creating an incentive to participate. </span>

<span>Communism requires common goals and agreed upon rules/laws to allocate responsibilities and resources. If successful, this leads to a spirit of sharing - which builds stronger social communities, creating a stabler economy. </span>

<span>Due to their sense of cooperation, healthy communistic systems are very efficient at distributing resources within their localized areas - particularly in times of need. </span>

In 1673, the Hope diamond was reduced from its original weight by about 45 carats, resulting in a diamond weighing about 67 cara
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

67

Explanation:

Original weight: x

Original weight reduced by 45 carats: x - 45

Final weight: 67 carats

x - 45 = 67

Solve for x by adding 45 to both sides.

Once you get x, subtract 45 and you should get 67 again.
