A trouble-making youth is standing on a bridge, and wants to drop a water balloon on an unsuspecting passerby. A man is jogging on a path below the bridge with a constant speed of 4.2 m/s. The bridge is 11.6 m above the ground. If the balloon is to land right at the jogger's feet, at what horizontal distance x from the bridge should he be when the youth drops the balloon?

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.

How does the amount of energy required to hold each proton and neutron in the nucleus compare to the energy released when they are removed?
