A large weather balloon has a volume of 2000 m3 and a total weight of 800 N is filled with gas. The basket attached to the balloon has a weight of 1200 N and inside the basket there is a total mass M. The balloon starts from rest an ascends a total distance of 25 meters in 5 seconds. If the density of air is 1.20 kg/m3 and the average density of gas is 0.179 kg/m3, what is the value of the mass M in kg. Hint: the system has an acceleration Show a coordinate system and a free body diagram.

A Venturi meter is a device for measuring the speed of a fluid within a pipe. The drawing shows a gas flowing at speed v2 through a horizontal section of pipe whose cross-sectional area is A2 = 0.0937 m2. The gas has a density of ρ = 1.30 kg/m3. The Venturi meter has a cross-sectional area of A1 = 0.0234 m2 and has been substituted for a section of the larger pipe. The pressure difference between the two sections is P2 - P1 = 149 Pa. Find (a) the speed v2 of the gas in the larger original pipe and (b) the volume flow rate Q of the gas. I posted it just now and recieved the wrong answers so i'm asking again. The answers are not A) 1.87 and B) 0.157.
Buoyancy In the buoyancy lab, you find that the buoyant force is equal to 2.50 N. Given that the density of water is 998 kg/m³, find the volume of the object in cm³. You may use g = 9.8 m/s² 256 m³ 2505 cm³ 256 cm³ 0.0256 cm³ 0.2505 cm³
A manometer containing water with one end connected to a container of gas has a column height difference of h = 0.27 m (see figure below). If the atmospheric pressure on the right column is 1.01 ✕ 105 Pa, find the absolute pressure of the gas in the container. The density of water is 1.0 ✕ 103 kg/m3. Pa
A child has a spherical helium balloon tied to her wrist as she walks through the park at a constant speed of 0.46 m/s in the +ŷ-direction. The balloon has a diameter of 7 cm, and it is tied to a 1 m long string. Take the density of air to be 1.108 kg/m³, the density of helium to be 0.122 kg/m³, and the density of the latex of the balloon to be 0.013 kg/m². The viscous drag constant of the balloon is 0.00148 kg/s. What is the direction of the string from the girl's wrist to the balloon? û = xŷ + X 2
A Venturi meter is a device for measuring the speed of a fluid within a pipe. The drawing shows a gas flowing at speed v₂ through a horizontal section of pipe whose cross- sectional area is A₂ = 0.0619 m². The gas has a density of p = 1.30 kg/m³. The Venturi meter has a cross-sectional area of A₁ = 0.0393 m² and has been substituted for a section of the larger pipe. The pressure difference between the two sections is P₂ - P₁ = 90.8 Pa.

The aorta carries blood away from the heart and eventually branches into a large number of capillaries that distribute the blood to various body organs. If for an average person, the aorta has a radius of 1.2 cm and blood travels through it at a speed of 45 cm/s and the capillaries have an average radius of 5.0 x 104 cm and blood travels through them at a speed of 0.005 cm/s, determine the approximate number of capillaries in the human body. capillaries Vinuing Sound Work Bovert to I Rocponco
The main intake air duct of a forced air gas heater is 0.29 m in diameter. The inside volume of the house is equivalent to a rectangular solid 15 m wide by 22.5 m long by 2.75 m high. What is the average speed of air in the duct, in meters per second, if it carries a volume equal to that of the house’s interior every 15 min?
