A balloon of mass M is floating motionless in the air. A person of mass less than M is on a rope ladder hanging from the balloon

. The person begins to climb the ladder at a uniform speed v relative to the ground. How does the balloon move relative to the ground?

Answer:

Down with a speed less than v

Explanation:

Let the person's mass be represented by m

The mass of the balloon = M

Total momentum is conserved thus F = external force = 0

when the person starts to climb the ladder, external force is still equal to zero.

We know that change is p = F * change in t

in this equation, F is the external force = 0

Hence change in p = 0

This means that total momentum is conserved thus F = external force = 0

(owing to the fact that exterior forces on the system are balanced)

Since all external force was zero before they began to climb the ladder, as they climb all external forces will still = 0

Thus, As the person starts moving

mv + MV = 0

or mv = MV

V = mv/M

Since M > m, m/M will definitely be a number that is less than 1,

Hence, V = (a number less than 1)v.

This means that V < v, or the balloon moves down a speed V which is less than v.

The bird is held in level flight due to the force exerted on it by the air as the bird beats its wings. What is the maximum valu
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

 maximumforce is F = mg

Explanation:

For this case we must use Newton's second law,

     Σ F = m a

bold indicate vectors, so we will write it in its components x and y

 X axis

       Fₓ = maₓ

 Axis y

      Fy - W = m aa_{y}

Now let's examine our case, with indicate that the bird is level, the force of the wings can have a measured angle with respect to the x axis, where the vertical component is responsible for the lift, let's use trigonometry to find the components

      Cos θ = Fₓ / F

      Fₓ = F cos θ

      sin θ = Fy / F

      Fy = F sin θ

Let's replace and calculate

      F sin θ -w = m a

 

As the bird indicates that leveling at the same height, so the vertical acceleration is zero (ay = 0)

       F sin θ = w = mg

The maximum value of this equation occurs when the sin=1, in this case

      F = mg

The position of a particle moving along the x axis may be determined from the expression x(t) = btu + ctv, where x will be in me
KIM [24]

As per given equation we have

x = bt^u + ct^v

now as per the dimensional analysis we can say that dimension of right side of equation must be equal to left side of the equation

now as per left side of equation its dimension is same as length or meter

now we can say it should be meter on right side also

bt^u = M^0L^1T^0

b*T^8 = M^0L^1T^0

b = M^0L^1T^{-8}

similarly for other term we have

ct^v = M^0L^1T^0

c*T^7 = M^0L^1T^0

c = M^0L^1T^{-7}

<em>so above are the dimensions of b and c</em>

If the distance between us and a star is doubled, with everything else remaining the same, the luminosity Group of answer choice
Savatey [412]

Answer:

remains the same, but the apparent brightness is decreased by a factor of four.

Explanation:

A star is a giant astronomical or celestial object that is comprised of a luminous sphere of plasma, binded together by its own gravitational force.

It is typically made up of two (2) main hot gas, Hydrogen (H) and Helium (He).

The luminosity of a star refers to the total amount of light radiated by the star per second and it is measured in watts (w).

The apparent brightness of a star is a measure of the rate at which radiated energy from a star reaches an observer on Earth per square meter per second.

The apparent brightness of a star is measured in watts per square meter.

If the distance between us (humans) and a star is doubled, with everything else remaining the same, the luminosity remains the same, but the apparent brightness is decreased by a factor of four (4).

Some of the examples of stars are;

- Canopus.

- Sun (closest to the Earth)

- Betelgeuse.

- Antares.

- Vega.
