But, I used the number of moles found in part b) to calculate the new volume, which means if I used the new volume to calculate the mass using the same method, I'd get the same mass, and the buoyancy force would stay constant...
Homework Statement
A helium meteorological balloon is made of a bag of impervious fabric that does not stretch, and when fully inflated forms a spherical shell of 1m diameter enclosing the He. At launch it is filled with He (at STP) to 15% capacity. The launch takes place in the Antarctic, in...
But in the textbook, it said, "You also do no work on the bag of groceries if you carry it as you walk horizontally across the floor at constant velocity"... which is why I thought no work would be done from A to B, C to D and E to F.
How would I work out the net work done on the box?
I don't know, I don't really get the question. In the textbook, it says that you carry something in your hands, you don't do any work on it since the force to carry it is perpendicular to the displacement.
Homework Statement
A man picks up a 10kg box, and holds it at a height of 1m above the horizontal ground as he walks to a ramp, and then carries the box up the ramp to a height of 4m, and then down the ramp as shown, finally placing it on the ground at F.
Describe the work done at each...

I'm not sure if my answer's correct, but I'd say the max. potential energy is the same as the max. kinetic energy because of the Law of the Conservation of Energy. ALL of the potential energy should be converted to kinetic energy, hence the max. kinetic energy = max. potential energy.
