A spherical helium filled balloon (B) with a hanging passenger cage being held by a single vertical cable (C) attached to Earth
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The tension is  T  = 4326.7 \  N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  total mass is  m  =  200 \  kg

    The  radius is r = 5 \  m

     The  density of air is  \rho_a  =  1.225 \ kg/m^3

Generally the upward  force acting on the balloon is mathematically represented as

        F_N  =   T  + mg

=>     (\rho_a  *  V  *  g ) =   T  + mg

=>   T  =  (\rho_a  * V  *  g   )  - mg

Here V is the volume  of the spherical helium filled balloon which is mathematically represented as

      V  =  \frac{4}{3}  * \pi r^3

=>   V  =  \frac{4}{3}  * 3.142 *(5)^3

=>   V  = 523.67\  m^3

So

    T  = (1.225 *  523.67*  9.8 ) -  200 *  9.8

   T  = 4326.7 \  N

In a game of pool, the cue ball moves at a speed of 2 m/s toward the eight ball. When the cue ball hits the eight ball, the cue
agasfer [191]

Answer:

a)  p₀ = 1.2 kg m / s,  b) p_f = 1.2 kg m / s,  c)   θ = 12.36, d)  v_{2f} = 1.278 m/s

Explanation:

a system formed by the two balls, which are isolated and the forces during the collision are internal, therefore the moment is conserved

a) the initial impulse is

        p₀ = m v₁₀ + 0

        p₀ = 0.6 2

        p₀ = 1.2 kg m / s

b) as the system is isolated, the moment is conserved so

       p_f = 1.2 kg m / s

we define a reference system where the x-axis coincides with the initial movement of the cue ball

we write the final moment for each axis

X axis

        p₀ₓ = 1.2 kg m / s

        p_{fx} = m v1f cos 20 + m v2f cos θ

        p₀ = p_f

       1.2 = 0.6 (-0.8) cos 20+ 0.6 v_{2f} cos θ

        1.2482 = v_{2f} cos θ

Y axis  

       p_{oy} = 0

       p_{fy} = m v_{1f} sin 20 + m v_{2f} cos θ

       0 = 0.6 (-0.8) sin 20 + 0.6 v_{2f} sin θ

       0.2736 = v_{2f} sin θ

we write our system of equations

        0.2736 = v_{2f} sin θ

        1.2482 = v_{2f} cos θ

divide to solve

        0.219 = tan θ

         θ = tan⁻¹ 0.21919

         θ = 12.36

let's look for speed

           0.2736 = v_{2f} sin θ

            v_{2f} = 0.2736 / sin 12.36

           v_{2f} = 1.278 m / s

What is rotation in your own words. and you have to be detailed
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The action of rotating around something like for ex.. Child A stands in the middle of a room while Child B goes around Child A, Child B is rotating around Child A. Another ex. is; The earth rotates around the sun every 365 days the earth is rotating or going around the sun in a circle. So rotating to me is the act of rotating around something in any way shape or form.

PS: A middle schooler answered this so if you don't wanna believe me or think I'm wrong because I am younger you do you.
