It has been proposed that we could explore mars using inflated balloons to hover just above the surface. the buoyancy of the atmosphere would keep the balloon aloft. the density of the martian atmosphere is 0.0154 (although this varies with temperature). suppose we construct these balloons of a thin but tough plastic having a density such that each square meter has a mass of 4.60 . we inflate them with a very light gas whose mass we can neglect. so far i found the following: what should be the radius of these balloons so they just hover above the surface of mars? radius of the balloon = /896 m what should be the mass of these balloons so they just hover above the surface of mars? mass of balloon = 4.64*10^-2 kg if we released one of the balloons from part a on earth, where the atmospheric density is 1.20 , what would be its initial acceleration assuming it was the same size as on mars? if on mars these balloons have five times the radius found in part a, how heavy an instrument package could they carry?

At a certain instant after jumping from the airplane a, a skydiver b is in the position shown and has reached a terminal (constant) speed vb = 52 m/s. the airplane has the same constant speed va = 52 m/s, and after a period of level flight is just beginning to follow the circular path shown of radius ρa = 2330 m. (a) determine the velocity and acceleration of the airplane relative to the skydiver. (b) determine the time rate of change of the speed vr of the airplane and the radius of curvature ρr of its path, both as observed by the nonrotating skydiver.

Complete these sentences. if a roller coaster train has a potential energy of 1,500 j and a kinetic energy of 500 j as it starts to travel downhill, its total energy isj. once the roller coaster train gets closer to the bottom of the hill, its kinetic energy increases to 1,100 j, and its potential energy decreases to j. when the train reaches the bottom of the track and is traveling along the ground, its kinetic energy isj.
