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

Why does an object weigh less on the moon than on earth?
On a cool day at 21 °C on the beach Isabella wants to propose to her boyfriend, she has a sign that reads, "Will you marry me?". The sign weighs 21.2 lbs. To carry the sign into the air Isabella fills 2 balloons with Helium gas. How many liters of helium must Isabella fill each balloon with? (453.6 g = 1 lb) The buoyancy of He is the difference between the density of helium and the density of air (whose weighted average molar mass can be calculated from the gasses that make it up and their % (N₂ = 78%, O₂ = 21%, Ar = 1%). HINT: calculate the mass in grams Helium can lift. PS. Isabella realized that her non-science major boyfriend was not smart enough for her and dumped him!
A small solid ball is released from rest while fully submerged in a liquid and then its kinetic energy is measured when it has moved 4.10 cm in the liquid (if it moves). The figure gives the results after many liquids are used: The kinetic energy K is plotted versus the liquid density plig, and Kg = 1.70 J sets the scale on the vertical axis. What is the volume of the ball in m3? K, 1 3. Pliq (g/cm³) K (J)
An airship of 100m3 in size is launched from sea level and it gradually attains height until it reaches the desired altitude. A manometer measuring the gage pressure of the inside filled Helium gas show a reading of 1.2 bar at the altitude of A meters from the ground. Manometer shows reading of 2 bar when it reaches to a height of B meters. Assume; Density of air at point A = 1.00 kg/m3 and at Point B= A = 0.80 kg/m3. You can also assume average density = 0.9 kg/m3 where required. Consider temperature inside the balloon = 10°C and negligible change in temperature during the process. (a) Calculate external atmospheric pressure difference between Point A and B (b) Neglecting the effect of altitude on local gravitational acceleration, determine the height attained from A to B.

(a) How much payload mass can it carry if the mass of airship itself is 5Kg? Do you expect any change in lifting capacity while moving from point A to point B? (b) Calculate the mass of helium to be expelled out to maintain the constant pressure of 2 bar at point B.
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 Using appropriate software, investigate the effect of the number of people carried in the balloon on acceleration. Plot the acceleration against the number of people, and discuss the results Assume the density of air is ? =1.16kg/m3, and neglect the weight of the ropes and the cage

H.W: A hypodermic syringe contains a medicine with the density of water. The barrel of the syringe has a cross-sectional area (2.50x10-5) m2, and the needle has a cross-sectional area (1.00x10 8 ) m². In the absence of a force on the plunger, the pressure everywhere is 1.00 atm. A force F of magnitude 2.00 N acts on the plunger, making medicine squirt horizontally from the needle. Determine the speed of the medicine as it leaves the needles tip.
