Answer:

(A) 0.54 kg

(B) 15.5 m/s west

Explanation:

Mass is conserved.

M = m₁ + m₂

0.86 kg = 0.32 kg + m₂

m₂ = 0.54 kg

Momentum is conserved (take east to be positive).

Mv = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

(0.86 kg)(-6 m/s) = (0.32 kg)(10 m/s) + (0.54 kg) v₂

v₂ = -15.5 m/s

A helium balloon has a radius of 2m. The density of helium of helium is 0.17 kg/m3 and the density of air is 1.25 kg/m3. What is

3241004551 [841]

To solve this problem we will begin by finding the force on each of the elements. For this it will be necessary to obtain the mass, which can be related to density and volume. Finally, by balancing forces it will be possible to obtain the final value of the maximum mass that can be lifted.

By Newton's second law we have,

$F = mg$
