A6.55 kg bowling ball is lifted 2.40 m into a storage rack. calculate the increase in the ball's potential energy a) 152 j b) 154 j c) 156 j d) 158j e) none of these

Consider an ordinary, helium-filled party balloon with a volume of 2.2 ft3. the lifting force on the balloon due to the outside air is the net resultant of the pressure distribution exerted on the exterior surface of the balloon. using this fact, we can derive archimedes’ principle, namely that the upward force on the balloon is equal to the weight of the air displaced by the balloon. assuming that the balloon is at sea level, where the air density is 0.002377 slug/ft3, calculate the maximum weight that can be lifted by the balloon. note: the molecular weight of air is 28.8 and that of helium is 4.

Water flows through a garden hose which is attached to a nozzle. the water flows through hose with a speed of 2.19 m/s and through the nozzle with a speed of 19.8 m/s. calculate the maximum height (in m) to which water could be squirted if it emerges from the nozzle and emerges with the nozzle removed.

Aspring has a relaxed length of 33 cm (0.33 m) and its spring stiffness is 6 n/m. you glue a 76 gram block (0.076 kg) to the top of the spring, and push the block down, compressing the spring so its total length is 15 cm. you make sure the block is at rest, then at time t=0 you quickly move your hand away. the block begins to move upward, because the upward force on the block by the spring is greater than the downward force on the block by the earth. calculate y vs. time for the block during a 0.09-second interval after you release the block, by applying the momentum principle in three steps each of 0.03-second duration.
