Problem #2: A typical compact car with a full tank of gasoline contains 600 MJ of chemical energy. If the car has a weight of 10 kN, what is the maximum speed in miles- per-hour the car could obtain by accelerating from rest neglecting drag or friction, and assuming all the fuel energy is converted to kinetic energy? Why can't the car attain this speed?

The air temperature inside a hot-air balloon is 80oC, while the surrounding atmospheric air temperature is only 15oC. The mass of the empty-balloon material is 10 kg. When inflated completely, the volume of hot air within the balloon is 5000 m3 . Determine the maximum mass of the load that the balloon can lift from the ground in this situation. Given: ρair (at 15oC) = 1.22 kg/m3 , ρair (at 80oC) = 1.01 kg/m3 . If only 80% of the maximum load mass is used, what would be the balloon’s initial acceleration upward (neglecting any air drag effect)?
