A group of big city tenants were upset about rising rent for their apartments, and decided to play a prank on the Building Manag

er. They went up to the top floor of the
building, which was 176.4 m above the sidewalk, and waited. They wanted to drop the balloon at just the right time, so they needed to make a quick calculation. How many
seconds before the Building Manager walks to the spot should they drop the balloon?

Answer:

  t = 6 s

Explanation:

This is a free fall exercise

          y = y₀ + v₀ t - ½ g t²

If the balloon is released its initial velocity is zero, when it reaches the floor its height is also zero, we substitute

         0 = y₀ + 0  - ½ g t2

         t = √(2yo / g)

let's calculate

         t = √ (2 176.4 / 9.8)

         t = 6 s

the balloon must be released 6 s before the person reaches the building

An astronaut goes to Mars to do some experiments. Explain why her mass stays the same but her weight changes.
Snowcat [4.5K]
Because mass does not change from place to place but weight does change from place to place... why? because weight is the amount of gravitational force on an object and mass is the amount of matter in an object. mars has less gravitational force so an object will weigh less than it really weighs there

A Boeing 737 airliner has a mass of 20,000 kg and the total area of both wings (top or bottom) is 100 m2. What is the pressure d
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The correct option is A = 1960 N/m²

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass m= 20,000kg

Area A = 100m²

Pressure different between top and bottom

Assume the plane has reached a cruising altitude and is not changing elevation. Then sum the forces in the vertical direction is given as

∑Fy = Wp + FL = 0

where

Wp = is the weight of the plane, and

FL is the lift pushing up on the plane.

Let solve for FL since the mass of the plane is given:

Wp + FL = 0

FL = -Wp

FL = -mg

FL = -20,000× -9.81

FL = 196,200N

FL should be positive since it is opposing the weight of the plane.

Let Equate FL to the pressure differential multiplied by the area of the wings:

FL = (Pb −Pt)⋅A

where Pb and Pt are the static pressures on bottom and top of the wings, respectively

FL = ∆P • A

∆P = FL/A

∆P = 196,200 / 100

∆P = 1962 N/m²

∆P ≈ 1960 N/m²

The pressure difference between the top and bottom surface of each wing when the airplane is in flight at a constant altitude is approximately 1960 N/m². Option A is correct
