What is the mass of an object that falls freely under the influence of gravity from an elevation of 100 m above the earth's surface? The downward velocity is 100 m/s and strikes the earth at 109.4m/s. Take g = 9.81 m/s2.
Ans. m=40kg
Balloons are often filled with helium gas because it weighs only about one-seventh of what air weighs under identical conditions. The buoyancy force, which can be expressed as Fb = ? airgVballoon, will push the balloon upward. If the balloon has a diameter of 12 m and carries two people, 70 kg each, determine the acceleration of the balloon when it is first released. Assume the density of air is ? =1.16kg/m3, and neglect the weight of the ropes and the cage
A truck with a mass of 4000 kg in initially going 70 mph at the bottom of a hill (flat incline plane). At the top of the hill an elevation change of 100 meters has occurred and the truck now has a speed of 60 mph. Determine the change in total mechanical energy (kJ) of the truck. Assume gravity of 9.81 m/s^2
