stable equilibrium, if displaced from equilibrium, it experiences a net force or torque in a direction opposite to the direction of the displacement.
unstable equilibrium, if displaced it experiences a net force or torque in the same direction as the displacement from equilibrium. A system in unstable equilibrium accelerates away from its equilibrium position if displaced even slightly.
neutral equilibrium, is when an equilibrium is independent of displacements from its original position.
Have a good day, hope this helps
It is bad because humans are destroying the planet with pollution and cutting down natural habitats. This is not only killing the human population in the future, but as of right now they are killing animals, and trees. The human population is slowly destroying the planet.
Answer:
M[min] = M[basket+people+ balloon, not gas] * ΔR/R[b]
ΔR is the difference in density between the gas inside and surrounding the balloon.
R[b] is the density of gas inside the baloon.
====================================
Let V be the volume of helium required.
Upthrust on helium = Weight of the volume of air displaced = Density of air * g * Volume of helium = 1.225 * g * V
U = 1.225gV newtons
----
Weight of Helium = Volume of Helium * Density of Helium * g
W[h] = 0.18gV N
Net Upward force produced by helium, F = Upthrust - Weight = (1.225-0.18) gV = 1.045gV N -----
Weight of 260kg = 2549.7 N
Then to lift the whole thing, F > 2549.7
So minimal F would be 2549.7
----
1.045gV = 2549.7
V = 248.8 m^3
Mass of helium required = V * Density of Helium = 248.8 * 0.18 = 44.8kg (3sf)
=====
Let the density of the surroundings be R
Then U-W = (1-0.9)RgV = 0.1RgV
So 0.1RgV = 2549.7 N
V = 2549.7 / 0.1Rg
Assuming that R is again 1.255, V = 2071.7 m^3
Then mass of hot air required = 230.2 * 0.9R = 2340 kg
Notice from this that M = 2549.7/0.9Rg * 0.1R so
M[min] = Weight of basket * (difference in density between balloon's gas and surroundings / density of gas in balloon)
M[min] = M[basket] * ΔR/R[b]
The equator has no continental borders.
