Answer:
The speed with which the man flies forward is 5.5 m/s
Explanation:
The mass of the man = 100 kg
The mass of the scooter = 10 kg
The speed with which the man was traveling on the scooter = 5 m/s
The speed of the scooter after it hits the rock = 0 m/s
Let v represent the speed with which the man flies forward
The formula for momentum, P, is P = Mass × Velocity
The conservation of linear momentum principle is, the total initial momentum = The total final momentum, therefore, we have;
The total initial momentum = (100 kg + 10 kg) × 5 m/s = 550 kg·m/s
The total final momentum = 100 kg × v + 10 kg × 0 m/s = 100 kg × v
When the momentum is conserved, we have;
550 kg·m/s = 100 kg × v
∴ v = 550 kg·m/s/(100 kg) = 5.5 m/s.
The speed with which the man flies forward = v = 5.5 m/s
Explanation:
Since the balloon is not accelerating means that the net force on the balloon is zero. This implies that the weight of balloon must be equal to the buoyant force on balloon.
Hence, the buoyant force equals the weight of air displaced by the balloon, also 20,000 N.
Weight of the air displaced = density of air × volume
The density of air at 1 atm pressure and 20º C is 1.2 kg/m³
the volume V = 20,000/(1.2×9.8) = 1700 m³
Mercury a terrestrial. It isn't made of gas.
