At a certain elevation, the pilot of a balloon has a mass of 120 lb and a weight of 119 lbf. What is the local acceleration of g

ravity, in ft/s2, at that elevation? If the balloon drifts to another elevation where g = 32.05 ft/s2, what is her weight, in lbf, and mass, in lb?

Answer:

1) g=31.87ft/s^2

2)m=120

W=119.64lbf

Explanation:

first part

the weight of a body with mass is calculated by the following equation

W=mg

we convert 120lb to slug

m=120lbx1slug/32.147lb=3.733slug

solving for g

g=W/m

g=119/3.733=31.87ft/s^2

second part

the mass is the same

m=120lb=3.733slug

Weight

W=3.733slug*32.05ft/s^2=119.64lbf

A 5000-lb truck is being used to lift a 1000-lb boulder B that is on a 200-lb pallet A. Knowing that the truck starts from rest
artcher [175]

Answer:

Explanation:

Total weight being moved = 5000+1000+200

= 6200 lb .

Force applied = 700 lb

= 700 x 32 = 22400 poundal .

acceleration (a) = 22400 / 6200

= 3.613 ft /s²

To know velocity after 6 ft we apply the formula

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0 + 2 x 3.613 x 6

43.356

v = 6.58 ft/s

You leave your house at 5:02 PM and run 20 yards down the street. You don't realize that you forgot your Wallet back at home and
Sidana [21]

Answer:

The average velocity is 0.203 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

initial displacement, x₁ = 20 yards = 18.288 m

final displacement, x₂ = ¹/₃ x 18.288 = 6.096 m

change in time between 5:02 PM and 5:03 PM, Δt = 3 mins - 2 mins = 1 min = 60 s

The average velocity is given by;

V = change in displacement / change in time

V = (x₂ - x₁) / Δt

V = (18.288 - 6.096) / 60

V = 0.203 m/s

Therefore, the average velocity is 0.203 m/s

Question Set 22.1 Using the count method, find the number of occurrences of the character 's' in the string 'mississippi'.2.2 In
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

# Program is written in python

# 22.1 Using the count method, find the number of occurrences of the character 's' in the string 'mississippi'.

# initializing string

Stringtocheck = "mississippi"

# using count() to get count of s

counter = Stringtocheck.count('s')

# printing result

print ("Count of s is : " + str(counter))

# 2.2 In the string 'mississippi', replace all occurrences of the substring 'iss' with 'ox

# Here, we'll make use of replace() method

# Prints the string by replacing iss by ox

print(Stringtocheck.replace("iss", "ox"))

#2.3 Find the index of the first occurrence of 'p' in 'mississippi'

# declare substring

substring = 'p'

# Find index

index = Stringtocheck.find(substring)

# Print index

print(index)

# End of program
