As the balloon ascends, the upward force (buoyant force) will need to exceed the total weight. Thus, weight is critical. Estimate the weight (in newtons) of the helium inside the balloon. The balloon is inflated at a site where the atmospheric pressure is 0.89 bar and the temperature is 22°C. When inflated prior to launch, the balloon is spherical (radius 1.3 m) and the inflation pressure equals the local atmospheric pressure.arrow_forwardAssume an oil drop has a volume of 0.15 cm^3 .

Round your answer to 3 significant digits.arrow_forwardAt crime scenes, the time of death is often determined by the temperature of the liver. Let H(t) be the temperature of the body, and S be the surrounding temperature. Newton's heating-cooling law states that the rate of change in the temperature, H, is proportional to the difference between the object and the surrounding temperature. If it is 75 degrees outside and a living person is 98.6 degrees, use Newton's cooling law to determine how long a body that has temperature 76 degrees has been left outside if at time t = 12 hours, H(12) = 80. Note that we need two measurements as different masses will cool at different rates. O 23.42 O 24.35 O 25.694 O 31.385arrow_forward
