You and some friends take a hot-air balloon ride. One friendis late, so the balloon floats a couple of feet off the ground as youwait. Before this person arrives, the combined weight of the basket and people is 1220 kg, and the balloon, which contains 5980kg of hot air, is neutrally buoyant. When the late arrival climbsup into the basket, the balloon begins to accelerate downward at0.10 m>s2. What was the mass of the last person to climb aboard?
A hose has been clamped so that the area at the clamp is only one quarter the area of the rest of the hose. Ignore the viscosity of water. How does the velocity of the water at the exit compare to the rest of the hose? Be specific 4x, 2x, the same, ½ x, ¼ x, etc. Explain your answer.
help please.
Water in a hose with an area of 153 mm2 moves at 4 m/s, but then you cover part of the opening of the hose with your finger, and the water shoots out faster at 16 m/s . Find the area of the opening between your finger and the end of the hose in mm2.
Note: you can leave the areas in mm2 since they'll cancel out.

- Earth’s atmosphere is in hydrostatic equilibrium. What this means is that the pressure at any point in the atmosphere must be high enough to support the weight of air above it.

This question previous had a PhET simulation that was manipulated to answer the questions. In this question, we will use gravity as 10 m/s2. (1a) Consider a wooden block (Block A) of mass 3 kg (which has a weight of w = (3)x(10 m/s2) = 30 N). In Figure A, the block has not been placed in the container of water. The volume level of the water is 100 L. The density of this wooden block is 0.40 kg/L. Since the density of the block of wood is less than the density of water, 1 kg/L, the block of wood will float when placed in the container of water. Figure B shows the block of wood floating in the water. The water level of the fluid has risen to a value VNEW = 103 L. The block is in equilibrium and thus the sum of the force acting on the block must be equal to zero.What is the buoyant force acting on the block when it is floating?Fbuoyant in water = 30 N (1b) What is the volume of fluid that is displaced…arrow_forward
