How can we use the balloon experiment to prove that air has weight (even though we cannot see air)?

Answer:

The end of the meter stick with the deflated balloon should have risen into the air. ... The only way the balloon could have lost mass is if the air that was inside it has mass. With this experiment you have shown that air takes up space and has mass, so you have proven that air is matter.

Place an empty balloon on weighing machine, then fill it with air and place on weighing machine.

You will observe that air filled balloon has more weight than the empty balloon.

How could the combustibility of a substance influence how the substances used
aliina [53]

Answer:

Combustibility is a measure of how easily a substance bursts into flame, through fire or combustion. This is an important property to consider when a substance is used for construction or is being stored. It is also important in processes that produce combustible substances as a by-product.

The top floor of the Ostankino TV Tower in Moscow is located at a height of 360.4 m. Assume a stone is dropped from this top flo
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

x=360.4-4.905t^2

8.57181 s

84.0894561 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

Let distance from ground be x

From equation of motion we have

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

Here, distance covered while the stone is falling will be 360.4-x

360.4-x=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 360.4-x=\frac{1}{2}9.81t^2\\\Rightarrow 360.4-x=4.905t^2\\\Rightarrow x=360.4-4.905t^2

The equation is x=360.4-4.905t^2

At the ground x = 0

0=360.4-4.905t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\dfrac{-360.4}{-4.905}}\\\Rightarrow t=8.57181\ s

The time taken by the stone to fall to the ground is 8.57181 s

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+9.81\times 8.57181\\\Rightarrow v=84.0894561\ m/s

The velocity of the stone when it reaches the ground is 84.0894561 m/s

Your boss asks you to design a room that can be as soundproof as possible and provides you with three samples of material. The o
earnstyle [38]

The correct answer is Option C) Sample C would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the smallest.


As the coefficient of absorption would define the energy present in the reflected wave, the material C has the highest percentage of absorption i.e. 62% and would be best suitable to make a sound proof room.

Zina [86]

Answer:

7.75 s

Explanation:

Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

35 N = (70 kg) a

a = 0.5 m/s²

Given v₀ = 0 m/s and Δx = 15 m:

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

(15 m) = (0 m/s) t + ½ (0.5 m/s²) t²

t = 7.75 s
