Chapter 1: Q9 DQ (page 389)

A rigid, lighter-than-air dirigible filled with helium cannot continue to rise indefinitely. Why? What determines the maximum height it can attain?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The point at which the density of atmosphere and helium is equal, is the maximum height attain by dirigible.

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the density

In this problem, to determine the maximum height attained by the dirigible, compare the densities of atmosphere as well as helium gas filled in it.

02

Determining the maximum height of dirigible

The maximum height reached by the rigid lighter-than-air dirigible filled with helium is the point where the density of the atmosphere and density of helium present in it is equivalent. Also, at this position, the volume of air (weight) released by the dirigible is approximately equal to its own weight. Therefore, there will be no upward force because buoyant force will eliminate its weight.

In an experiment, a shearwater (a seabird) was taken from its nest, flown 5150 km away, and released. The bird found its way back to its nest 13.5 days after release. If we place the origin at the nest and extend the +x-axis to the release point, what was the bird鈥檚 average velocity in (a) for the return flight and (b) for the whole episode, from leaving the nest to returning?

Question: A car鈥檚 velocity as a function of time is given byvxt=伪+尾t2, where伪=3.00m/sand 尾=0.100m/s3.(a) Calculate the average acceleration for the time interval t=0tot=5.00s. (b) Calculate the instantaneous acceleration forrole="math" t=0tot=5.00s.

(c) Draw vx-tandax-tgraphs for the car鈥檚 motion betweent=0tot=5.00s.

A Honda Civic travels in a straight line along a road. The car鈥檚 distance x from a stop sign is given as a function of time t by the equationxt=伪t2-尾t3 where role="math" localid="1655226337795" 伪=1.50鈥�m/s2androle="math" localid="1655226362269" 尾=0.0500m/s2 . Calculate the average velocity of the car for each time interval: (a) t = 0 to t = 2.00 s; (b) t = 0 to t = 4.00 s; (c) t = 2.00 s to t = 4.00 s.
