Answer:

Mass = volume * density

tables show air = 1.293 g / L and He = .178 g / L

Each balloon would have a lifting power (using mass) of

(1.293 - .178) = 1.115 g / L = 1.115 kg / m^3

Note there are 1000 g in a kg and 1000 L in a m^3

V (balloon) = 4/3 pi .15^3 = .0141 m^3

Each balloon can lift .0141 m^3 * 1.115 kg/m^3 = .0158 kg

Or 63.4 balloons can lift 1 kg

To lift 75 kg requires 63.4 * 75 = 4760 balloons

A rocket initially at rest accelerates at a rate of 99. 0 meters/second2. Calculate the distance covered by the rocket if it att
creativ13 [48]

The rocket will cover 1 \times  10^3\rm \ m distance in 4. 5 s. Acceleration can be defined as the change in velocity.

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

Acceleration can be defined as the change in speed or the direction of the object.

From kinamatic equation:

D = v_{t} +\dfrac 12at^2

Where,

D - final velocity =  445 m/s

v_0 -  initial valocity = 0 m/s

a - acceleration = 99. 0 m/s²

t - time =  4. 50 s

Put the values in the formula,

D = 0\times  ( 4.5) + \dfrac12\times (99)(4.5)^2\\\\D = 1002 {\rm \ m}\\\\D = 1 \times  10^3\rm \ m

Therefore, the rocket will cover 1 \times  10^3\rm \ m distance in 4. 5 s.

Which best explains how the diffraction pattern observed in young’s experiment supports the wave theory of light?.
KIM [24]

Answer: the airy pattern can only arise from wave propagation

Explanation:if particles went in straight lines through a slit, they would progate linearly and not interfere. The airy pattern arises from diffraction as waves interfere, producing peaks (constructive interference where peaks of waves from each slit coincide) and troughs (destructive interference where peaks and troughs of waves from each slit cancel out). If intensity rather than field is measured nodes occur where 0 values line up instead of troughs
