Let the mass of the person be m. Total momentum is conserved (because the exterior forces on the system are balanced), especially the component in the vertical direction.
Given that,
Mass of gallon is M
Let man mass be m
Velocity of man is v
Let velocity if ballot be Vb
When the person begin to move we have
Conservation of momentum
mv + MVb=0
MVb=-mv
Vb= -(m/M) v
Given that the mass of man is less than mass of balloon. i.e. m<M
So, if m<M, then, m/M <1
Therefore, .
Vb= -(m/M) v
Vb< -v
This implies that the velocity of balloon is less than the velocity of man and if is also moving in opposite direction
So the man is moving upward, then the balloon is moving downward and it's velocity is less than the velocity of man,
The answer is C
Down with a speed less than v
Gravitational forces are forces of attraction. It's like the Earth pulling on you and keeping you on the ground.
In physics, work is defined as the total energy when an object is moved to a certain displacement by the application of external force. It is calculated by the expression W = Fd. For this case, the displacement is apparently zero, then there is no work in the system above.
Answer:
It has a mass of 40 kg.
Explanation:
Because Force = mass x Acceleration or F = m a, we could say that the mass is force/acceleration which in your case is 2,400/60 which equals 40 kg.
