Get started for freeHot air is less dense than cold air. Could a hot-air balloon be flown on the Moon, where there is no atmosphere?
(a) No, there is no cold air to displace, so no buoyancy force would exist.
(b) Yes, warm air always rises, especially in a weak gravitational field like that of the Moon.
(c) Yes, but the balloon would have to be filled with helium instead of hot air.
(II)What is the volume rate of flow of water from a 1.85-cm-diameter faucet if the pressure head is 12.0 m?
(II)A\(\frac{5}{8}\;{\rm{in}}\). (inside) diameter garden hose is used to fill a round swimming pool 6.1 m in diameter. How long will it take to fill the pool to a depth of 1.4 m if water flows from the hose at a speed of 0.40 m/s?
A submerged can of Coke sink, but a can of Diet Coke will float. (Try it!) Explain.
A barge filled high with sand approaches a low bridge over the river and cannot quite pass under it. Should sand be added to, or removed from, the barge? [Hint: Consider Archimedes’ principle.]
