Answer:

Ep = 117600 J

Explanation:

Data:

Mass (m) = 600 kg
Height (h) = 20 m
Gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Potential Energy (Ep) = ?

Use formula:

Ep = m * g * h

Replace:

Ep = 600 kg * 9.8 m/s² * 20 m

Multiply operations, and units:

Ep = 117600 J

What is the potential energy?

The potential energy is 117600 Joules.

Answer :

Essay on Sound instruments/sound boxes:

Musical instruments also some times called "sound box", because the box modifies the sound of an instrument. It also helps in transfer of sound to the surrounding air.

The box is the open chamber in the body of musical instrument

The sound box responds more strongly to vibrations at certain frequencies created by playing instrument. This phenomena is known as resonance.

The resonance impacts on the tone quality.

For example xylophone, which is a musical instrument with wooden bars. These wooden bars are arranged similar to the piano. under each bar of the xylophone there is a resonator tube, which amplifies the sound.

A hot-air balloon and its basket are accelerating upward at 0.265 m/s2, propelled by a net upward force of 688 N. A rope of negl

Sergeu [11.5K]

Question: Find, separately, them mass of the balloon and the basket (incidentally, most of the balloon's mass is air)

Answer:

The mass of the balloon is 2295 kg, and the mass of the basket is 301 kg.

Explanation:

Let us call the mass of the balloon $m_1$ and the mass of the basket $m_2$ , then according to newton's second law:

$(1). \:F = (m_1+m_2)a$ ,

where $a =0.265m/s^2$ is the upward acceleration, and $F = 688N$ is the net propelling force (counts the gravitational force).

Also, the tension $T$ in the rope is 79.8 N more than the basket's weight; therefore,

$(2). \:T = m_2g+79.8$

and this tension must equal

$T -m_2g =m_2a$

$(3). \:T = m_2g +m_2a$

Combining equations (2) and (3) we get:

$m_2a = 79.8$

since $a =0.265m/s^2$ , we have

$\boxed{m_2 = 301.13kg}$

Putting this into equation (1) and substituting the numerical values of $F$ and $a$ , we get:

$688N = (m_1+301.13kg)(0.265m/s^2)$

$\boxed{m_1 = 2295 kg}$

Thus, the mass of the balloon and the basket is 2295 kg and 301 kg respectively.
