A small bag of sand is released from an ascending hot-air balloon whose upward constant velocity is v0 = 2.45 m/s. knowing that

at the time of the release the balloon was 98.8 m above the ground, determine the time, τ, it takes the bag to reach the ground from the moment of its release.

When you draw an illustration for this problem, you would come up with the same drawing as shown in the picture. As the hot-air balloon travels upwards, there is a slight time when the bag of sand rises up until it reaches the maximum height. Then, it goes back down to the ground. The total time would be t₁ + t₂. The solution is as follows:

H = v₀²/2g = (2.45)²/2(9.81) = 0.306 m
t₁ = H/v₀ = 0.306 m/2.45 m/s = 0.125 s

t₂ = √2(H + 98.8)/g = √2(0.306+ 98.8)/9.81
t₂ = 4.495 s

Total time = 0.125 s + 4.495 s = 4.62 seconds

If hot air rises then why is it cold in space please explain in detail thank you
Helen [10]
Hot air has a lower density than the surrounding atmosphere, therefore,it will rise.. The reason it is "cold" in the upper atmosphere is actually because of a lower air density.

A horizontal 745 N merry-go-round of radius
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the merry-goround after 3.62 s is  544J

Explanation:

Given :

Weight w = 745 N

Radius r =  1.45 m

Force =  56.3 N

To Find:

The kinetic energy of the merry-go round after 3.62  = ?

Solution:

Step 1:  Finding the Mass of merry-go-round

m = \frac{ weight}{g}

m = \frac{745}{9.81 }

m = 76.02 kg

Step 2: Finding the Moment of Inertia of solid cylinder

Moment of Inertia of solid cylinder I =0.5 \times m \times r^2

Substituting the values

Moment of Inertia of solid cylinder I  

=>0.5 \times 76.02 \times (1.45)^2

=> 0.5 \times 76.02\times 2.1025

=> 79.91 kg.m^2

Step 3: Finding the Torque applied T

Torque applied T = F \times r

Substituting the values

T = 56.3  \times 1.45

T = 81.635 N.m

 Step 4: Finding the Angular acceleration

Angular acceleration ,\alpha  = \frac{Torque}{Inertia}

Substituting the values,

\alpha  = \frac{81.635}{79.91}

\alpha = 1.021 rad/s^2

 Step 4: Finding the Final angular velocity

Final angular velocity ,\omega = \alpha \times  t

Substituting the values,

\omega = 1.021 \times  3.62

\omega = 3.69 rad/s

Now KE (100% rotational) after 3.62s is:

KE = 0.5 \times I \times \omega^2

KE =0.5 \times 79.91 \times 3.69^2

KE = 544J

Describe and give an example of mutualism.
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Mutualism, commensalism, parasitism, competition, and predation.

Explanation:

mutualism- relationship between two or more organisms where both are benefited. Example-oxpecker with rhino/zebra. They eat bugs off of them which means that they are getting food, while the rhino/zebra are getting cleaned up with pest control.

commensalism- relationship between two organisms where one benefits and the other isn't benefited or harmed. EX- tree frogs use plants as protectioin.he frog is benefited, and the plant is neither harmed nor benefited. Remora fish have a disk on their heads that they use to attach themselves to larger animals for protection. The animals they attach to are neither harmed nor benefited.  

parasitism- in a relationship where an organism benefits at the expense of the other. (one is benefited while the other is harmed) ex- fleas and ticks that live on cats and dogs, tape worms that live in people and animals that eat the food which means that the people aren't getting the food or nutrition that they eat. lice, etc

competition- interaction within organisms/species in which both the organisms/species are harmed and is apart of natural selection. Examples may include two males fighting over a mate, animals competing over food, limited habitats that they are fighting over, territory, etc.

predation- the preying of one animal on another. It's where the predator hunts and eats another organism which is its prey. categorized within-(1) carnivory, (2) herbivory, (3) parasitism, and (4) mutualism. Each type of predation can by categorized based on whether or not it results in the death of the prey.ex- owls hunting mice, wolves hunting rabbits, lion hunting gazelle, etc.

How is power defined? Question 8 options: the quantity of work accomplished the direction of the work the total distance an obje
kifflom [539]

Power is defined by the rate of work done by the object. Statement D represents the correct definition of Power.

<h3>What is Power?</h3>

Power can be defined as the transfer of energy from one place to another place. The rate at which this energy is transferred is called power.

In other words, the rate at which the work is done by an object is called its power. The mathematical representation of power is given as,

P = \dfrac {\Delta W}{\Delta t}

Here, P is the power, \Delta W is the change in energy or work done and  \Delta tchange in time.

The Power can be written in SI units as Watt or J/s.

Hence we can conclude that the power is the rate at which work is accomplished. Statement D is the correct representation of Power.

To know more about power, follow the link given below.

Which of the following is NOT a requirement for a planet? A. must orbit a star, but is not a star or satellite of another planet
Ket [755]

Answer:

D. must have a moon

Explanation:

Scientists say that a planet must orbit a star, must be round, and must be big enough so its gravity clears its orbit of other objects. Therefore, the statement that is not a requirement for a planet is

D. must have a moon

For example, Mercury and Venus are planets with no moons.
