A hot-air balloon of diameter 12 mm rises vertically at a constant speed of 15 m/sm/s. A passenger accidentally drops his camera

from the railing of the basket when it is 18 mm above the ground. If the balloon continues to rise at the same speed, how high is the railing when the camera hits the ground?

To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations. With the information provided we will calculate the time it takes for the object to fall. From that time, considering that the ascent rate is constant, we will take the reference distance and calculate the distance traveled while the object hit the ground, that is,

$h = v_0 t -\frac{1}{2} gt^2$

$-18 = 15*t + \frac{1}{2} 9.8*t^2$

$t = 3.98s$

Then the total distance traveled would be

$h = h_0 +v_0t$

$h = 18+15*3.98$

$h = 77.7m$

Therefore the railing will be at a height of 77.7m when it has touched the ground

What are the two forces that are acting on the skydiver? What is

Cloud [144]

Answer:

Gravity provides a downward force, resulting in the diver going downward. They speed up like any falling object would, the pull of gravity is a dominant force. (There is a drag force – as a result of moving through the air.)

A projectile is launched at ground level with an initial speed of 54.5 m/s at an angle of 35.0° above the horizontal. It strikes

Alchen [17]

<h2>Answer: x=125m, y=48.308m</h2>

Explanation:

This situation is a good example of the projectile motion or parabolic motion, in which we have two components: x-component and y-component. Being their main equations to find the position as follows:

x-component:

$x=V_{o}cos\theta t$ (1)

Where:

$V_{o}=54.5m/s$ is the projectile's initial speed

$\theta=35\°$ is the angle

$t=2.80s$ is the time since the projectile is launched until it strikes the target

$x$ is the final horizontal position of the projectile (the value we want to find)

y-component:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ (2)

Where:

$y_{o}=0$ is the initial height of the projectile (we are told it was launched at ground level)

$y$ is the final height of the projectile (the value we want to find)

$g=9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

Having this clear, let's begin with x (1):

$x=(54.5m/s)cos(35\°)(2.8s)$ (3)

$x=125m$ (4) This is the horizontal final position of the projectile

For y (2):

$y=0+(54.5m/s)sin(35\°)(2.8s)-\frac{(9.8m/s^{2})(2.8s)^{2}}{2}$ (5)

$y=48.308m$ (6) This is the vertical final position of the projectile

A balloon-powered car rolls across the floor at a speed of 0.711 m/s. How long does it take to cover 8.25 m?

devlian [24]

Answer:

Time = 11.60 seconds.

Explanation:

Speed can be defined as distance covered per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity and as such it has magnitude but no direction.

Mathematically, speed is given by the equation;

$Speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

Given the following data;

Speed = 0.711m/s

Distance = 8.25m

To find the time;

Making time the subject of formula, we have;

$Time = \frac{distance}{speed}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Time = \frac{8.25}{0.711}$

Time = 11.60 secs.
