Four forces act on a hot-air balloon, as shown

Physics
1 answer:
dolphi86 [110]2 years ago
5 0

The magnitude of the resultant force on the balloon is 374.13 N.

The given forces from the image;

  • <em>Upward force = 514 N</em>
  • <em>Downward force = 267 N</em>
  • <em>Eastward force = 678 N</em>
  • <em>Westward force = 397 N</em>

The net vertical force on the balloon is calculated as follows;

F_y = 514 \ N \ \ - \ \ 267 \ N\\\\F_y = 247 \ N

The net horizontal force on the balloon is calculated as follows;

F_x = 678 \ N \ - \ 397 \ N\\\\F_x = 281 \ N

The magnitude of the resultant force on the balloon is calculated as follows;

F = \sqrt{F_y^2 + F_x^2} \\\\F = \sqrt{(247)^2 + (281)^2} \\\\F= 374.13 \ N

Thus, the magnitude of the resultant force on the balloon is 374.13 N.

Starting at (0,0) an object travels 36 meters north and then it covers 20 meters east. What is
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the pythagoras theorem, the displacement is expressed as;

d² = x²+y²

y = 36m (north)

x = 20m east

Substitute;

d² = 36²+20²

d² = 1296+400

d² = 1696

d = √1696

d = 41.18m

For the direction;

theta = tan^-1(y/x)

theta = tan^-1(36/20)

theta = tan^-1(1.8)

theta = 60.95°

Hence the magnitude is 41.18m and the direction is 60.95°

How does the Coriolis effect influence the direction of the Trade Winds in the Northern Hemisphere? Does it have the same effect
scoray [572]

Answer:

Part A

Coriolis effect is used to describe how objects which are not fixed to the ground are deflected as they travel over long distances due to the rotation of the Earth relative to the 'linear' motion of the objects

Due to the Coriolis effect the wind flowing towards the Equator from high pressure belts in the subtropical regions in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres are deflected towards the western direction because the Earth rotates on its axis towards the east

Part B

In the Northern Hemispheres, the winds are known as northeasterly trade winds and in the Southern Hemisphere, they are known as the southeasterly trade wind. Therefore, Coriolis effect has the same effect on the direction of the Trade Winds in the Southern Hemisphere as it does in the Northern Hemisphere

What is the primary source of energy for earths weather systems
PIT_PIT [208]
I believe the sun is the primary source of energy for Earth's weather system. The sun is the primary energy source for Earth's climate system which is the first set of essential principles of climate sciences. Additionally, it is the primary source that drives all weather events, including precipitation, hurricane and tornadoes. The sun drives the hydrologic cycle, and makes life on Earth possible.

After flying for 15 min in a wind blowing 42 km/h at an angle of 19° south of east, an airplane pilot is over a town that is 48
masha68 [24]

Answer:

The speed of the airplane relative to the air is 209.47km/hr

Explanation:

Whenever we are solving a physics problem, it's really useful to start by drawing a diagram of the problem (See picture attached). It will help us visualize the problem better.

Now, we know that the plane flew for an amount of time of 15 minutes. For our dimensions to be the same, we need to turn those 15min to hours, like this:

15min*\frac{1hr}{60min}=0.25hr

Once our time is rewritten as hours, we can now calculate the velocity towards north of the plane.

V=\frac{distance}{time}

the plane traveled a distance to the north of 48km so the velocity is:

V=\frac{48km}{0.25hr}

so

V=192km/hr j

Now, we can calculate the x and y-components of the velocity of the wind. The problem states that the wind is blowing at 42km/hr at an angle of 19° south of east, so the x and y-components of the velocity of the wind are:

V_{x}=42km/hr*cos(-19^{o} )=39.71 i

and

V_{y}=42km/hr*sin(-19^{o} )=-13.67 j

So the velocity of the wind can be expressed as a vector as:

V_{wind}=(39.71i - 13.67j)km/hr

Once we know this, we can find the velocity of the plane with respect of the wind on x and on y:

V_{plane x}=V_{plane/wind x}+V_{wind x}

V_{plane/wind x}=V_{plane x}-V_{wind x}

V_{plane/wind x}=(0-39.71 i)km/hr

V_{plane/wind x}= -39.71 i km/hr

and

V_{plane y}=V_{plane/wind y}+V_{wind y}

V_{plane/wind y}=V_{plane y}-V_{wind y}

V_{plane/wind y}=192km/hr j - (- 13.67j)km/hr

V_{plane/wind x}= 205.67 j km/hr

So the velocity of the plane with respect to the wind can be rewritten as:

V_{plane/wind x}= (-39.71i + 205.67 j) km/hr

Since the problem asks us to find the speed of the plane with respect to the wind, this means that we need to find the magnitude of the velocity, since the speed is a scalar defined to be the magnitude of the velocity.

so:

speed=\sqrt{(-39.71)^{2}+(205.67)^{2}  }

speed= 209.47 km/hr

Therefore, the speed of the airplane relative to the air is 209.47km/hr
