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 the frequencies of two component waves are 24 Hz and 20 Hz, they should produce _______ beats per second.
horrorfan [7]
This can be answered using the beat frequency formula, which is simply the difference between 2 frequencies.

Let: <span>fᵇ = beat frequency
</span>f₁ = first frequency
f₂ = second frequency

fᵇ = |f₁ - f₂|

substituting the values:
fᵇ = |24Hz - 20Hz|
fᵇ = 4Hz

The unit Hz also means beats per second, therefore:
<span>fᵇ = 4 beats per second
</span>
Therefore, the answer is C. 4

A particle with charge 6 mC moving in a region where only electric forces act on it has a kinetic energy of 1.9000000000000001 J
Vesna [10]

Answer:

16.9000000000000001 J

Explanation:

From the given information:

Let the initial kinetic energy from point A be K_A = 1.9000000000000001 J

and the final kinetic energy from point B be K_B = ???

The charge particle Q = 6 mC = 6 × 10⁻³ C

The change in the electric potential from point B to A;

i.e. V_B - V_A = -2.5 × 10³ V

According to the work-energy theorem:

-Q × ΔV = ΔK

-Q \times ( V_B - V_A) = (K_B - K_A)

-(6\times 10^{-3}\ C) \times ( -2.5 \times 10^3) = (K_B - 1.9000000000000001 \ J)

15 = (K_B - 1.9000000000000001 \ J)

K_B = 15+ 1.9000000000000001 \ J

\mathbf{K_B =1 6.9000000000000001 \ J}

A force of 20. Newtons to the left exerted on a cart for 10. Seconds. For what period of time must a 50.-newton force to the rig
FinnZ [79.3K]
Impulse = (force) x (time)

The first impulse was (20 N) x (10 sec) = 200 meters/sec

The second one is (50 N) x (time) and we want it equal to the first one, so

(50 N) x (time) = 200 meters/sec

Divide each side by 50N :    Time = 200/50 = <em>4 seconds</em>

By the way, the quantity we're playing with here is the cart's <em>momentum</em>.
