A meteorologist plans to release a weather balloon from ground level, to be used for high-altitude atmospheric measurements. The
balloon is spherical, with a radius of 2.20 m, and filled with hydrogen. The total mass of the balloon (including the hydrogen within it) and the instruments it carries is 21.0 kg. The density of air at ground level is 1.29 kg/m3. (a) What is the magnitude of the buoyant force (in N) acting on the balloon, just after it is released from ground level
We know the buoyant force F = weight of air displaced by the balloon.
F = ρgV where ρ = density of air = 1.29 kg/m³, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and V = volume of balloon = 4πr/3 (since it is a sphere) where r = radius of balloon = 2.20 m
So, F = ρgV = ρg4πr³/3
substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
Henry will lift 200 N load 20 m up a ladder in 40 s. While the Ricardo will take 400 N load in 80 seconds. So, For Henry to take 400 N load it will take him 80 seconds in two attempts. And,also, he will have to cover 40 m of distance.
the radiogenic heat produced by the radioactive decay of isotopes in the mantle and crust, and the primordial heat left over from the formation of the Earth.
