What is the acceleration of a rising hot-air balloon if the ratio of the air density outside the balloon to that inside is1.39? Neglect the mass of the balloon fabric and the basket.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The acceleration of a rising hot-air balloon is3.82m/s2.

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities

The ratio of air density outside the balloon to that inside is.outin=1.39

02

Understanding the concept of acceleration

Newton鈥檚 second law states that the net forceF on a body with mass mis related to the body鈥檚 acceleration aby,

F=ma

We can find the acceleration of the rising hot-air balloon by applying Newton鈥檚 second law to it. Mass can be written in terms of volume and density. Using the ratio of the density of the air inside and outside, we can find the acceleration of the balloon.

Formulae:

Fnet=mam=V

03

Calculating the acceleration of balloon

Free body diagram:

Applying Newton鈥檚 law to the rising hot-air balloon gives,

Fb-mg=maoutVg-inVg=inVaa=out-ingin=outin-1g

Substitute the values in the above equation.

=1.39-19.8m/s2=3.82m/s2

Therefore, the acceleration of the rising hot-air balloon is 3.82m/s2.

In Figure, a spring of spring constant 3.00104N/mis between a rigid beam and the output piston of a hydraulic lever. An empty container with negligible mass sits on the input piston. The input piston has area A1, and the output piston has area 18.0A1. Initially the spring is at its rest length. How many kilograms of sand must be (slowly) poured into the container to compress the spring by 5.00cm?

An alligator waits for prey by floating with only the top of its head exposed, so that the prey cannot easily see it. One way it can adjust the extent of sinking is by controlling the size of its lungs. Another way may be by swallowing stones (gastrolithes) that then reside in the stomach. Figure shows a highly simplified model (a 鈥渞hombohedron gater鈥) of mass130kgthat roams with its head partially exposed. The top head surface has area0.20m2. If the alligator were to swallow stones with a total mass of1.0%of its body mass (a typical amount), how far would it sink?

Giraffe bending to drink. In a giraffe with its head 2.0m above its heart, and its heart 2.0mabove its feet, the (hydrostatic) gauge pressure in the blood at its heart is250 torr. Assume that the giraffe stands upright and the blood density is 1.06103kg/m3. (a) In torr (or role="math" localid="1657260976786" mmHg), find the (gauge) blood pressure at the brain (the pressure is enough to perfuse the brain with blood, to keep the giraffe from fainting). (b) torrIn (ormmHg), find the (gauge) blood pressure at the feet (the pressure must be countered by tight-fitting skin acting like a pressure stocking). (c) If the giraffe were to lower its head to drink from a pond without splaying its legs and moving slowly, what would be the increase in the blood pressure in the brain? (Such action would probably be lethal.)

A fish maintains its depth in fresh water by adjusting the air content of porous bone or air sacs to make its average density the same as that of the water. Suppose that with its air sacs collapsed, a fish has a density of1.08g/cm3. To what fraction of its expanded body volume must the fish inflate the air sacs to reduce its density to that of water?

A very simplified schematic of the rain drainage system for a home is shown in Figure. Rain falling on the slanted roof runs off into gutters around the roof edge; it then drains through downspouts (only one is shown) into a main drainage pipe Mbelow the basement, which carries the water to an even larger pipe below the street. In Figure, a floor drain in the basement is also connected to drainage pipe M. Suppose the following apply: 1.The downspouts have height h1=11m, 2.the floor drain has heighth2=1.2m,3.pipe Mhas radius 3.0cm,4.the house side is width w=30mand front

length L=60m,5.all the water striking the roof goes through pipe M, 6.the initial speed of the water in a downspout is negligible, 7.the wind speed is negligible (the rain falls vertically). At what rainfall rate, in centimetres per hour, will water from pipe M reach the height of the floor drain and threaten to flood the basement?
