At a hot air balloon race, a person on the ground shots a ball of confetti from a cannon to start the race. One of the balloons

is rising with a constant speed of 11m/s. The confetti ball is shot completely verically with an initial speed of 18m/s. a) how much time will it take for the ball and balloon to meet? b) where, above the ground, will the ball reach the balloon?

Answer:

a) The balloon and the ball will meet after 1.43 s.

b) The ball will reach the balloon at 15.7 m above the ground.

Explanation:

The height of the confetti ball is given by the following equation:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Where:

y = height of the ball at time t

y0 = initial height

v0 = initial velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

The height of the ball is given by this equation:

y = y0 + v · t

Where v is the constant velocity.

When the ball and the ballon meet, both heights are equal. Let´s consider the ground as the origin of the frame of reference so that y0 = 0:

y balloon = y ball

y0 + v · t = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²                  (y0 = 0)

11 m/s · t = 18 m/s · t -1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t² + 18 m/s · t - 11 m/s · t

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t²  + 7 m/s · t

0 = t( -4.9 m/s² · t  + 7 m/s)

t = 0 and

0 = -4.9 m/s² · t  + 7 m/s

-7 m/s / - 4.9 m/s² = t

t = 1.43 s

They will meet after 1.43 s

b) Now let´s calculate the height of the balloon after 1.43 s

y = v · t

y = 11 m/s · 1.43 s = 15.7 m

The ball will reach the balloon at 15.7 m above the ground.

laila [671]

Answer: amplitude

Explanation: This describes the maximum amount of the displacement of a particle from it rest position. Usually, it is measured in metres

Since we are considering AM which is amplitude modulation, a technique used in electronic communication, most commonly for broadcasting information through a radio carrier wave. In amplitude modulation, the amplitude (signal strength) of the carrier wave is diversified in proportion to that of the message signal being broadcasted.

An electron in a vacuum is first accelerated by a voltage of 51400 V and then enters a region in which there is a uniform magnet
zimovet [89]

Answer:

       F = 8.6 10⁻¹² N

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the law of conservation of energy

Initial. Field energy with the electron at rest

         Em₀ = U = q ΔV

Final. Electron with velocity, just out of the electric field

         Emf = K = ½ m v²

          Em₀ = Emf

          e ΔV = ½ m v²

          v =√ 2 e ΔV / m

          v = √(2 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 51400 / 9.1 10⁻³¹)

           v = √(1.8075 10¹⁶)

           v = 1,344 10⁸ m / s

Now we can use the equation of the magnetic force

         F = q v x B

Since the speed and the magnetic field are perpendicular the force that

        F = e v B

        F = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹  1.344 10⁸ 0.4

       For this exercise we use the law of conservation of energy

Initial. Field energy with the electron at rest

         Emo = U = q DV

Final. Electron with velocity, just out of the electric field

         Emf = K = ½ m v2

          Emo = Emf

          .e DV = ½ m v2

          .v = RA 2 e DV / m

          .v = RA (2 1.6 10-19 51400 / 9.1 10-31)

           .v = RA (1.8075 10 16)

           .v = 1,344 108 m / s

Now we can use the equation of the magnetic force

         F = q v x B

Since the speed and the magnetic field are perpendicular the force that

        F = e v B

       F = 1.6 10-19 1,344 108 0.4

       F = 8.6 10-12 N

A displacement is a vector quantity that takes into account the shortest distance from the starting point to the endpoint. 

The given above gave a time interval in minutes which needs to be converted to seconds. Given that each minute is 60 seconds, 5 minutes equal 300 seconds. To determine the distance, multiply time with speed. The product is 225 m. 

Thus, the displacement is 225 m.
