Answer:

48m

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the distance from the person head to the top of the building using the equation of motion

v² = u²+2gH where

v is the final velocity of the balloon= 30.3m/s

u is the initial velocity of the balloon = 0m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

H is the distance between the person head and the top of the building

Substituting into the formula, we have;

30.3² = 0²+2(9.81)H

918.09 = 19.62H

H = 918.09/19.62

H = 46.79m

To know how tall the building is, we will add the height of the building above the ground and the distance between the man's head and the top of the building. This will give;

Ht = 46.79+1.5

Ht = 48.29m

Ht is approximately 48m

Therefore the building is 48m tall

Levart [38]

Answer:

the rate that the energy of a system is transformed

Explanation:

We can define energy as the capacity or ability to do work. Power is defined as the rate of doing work or the rate at which energy is transformed. It can also be regarded as the time rate of energy transfer. In older physics literature, power is sometimes referred to as activity.

Power is given by energy/time. Its unit is watt which is defined as joule per second. Another popular unit of power is horsepower. 1 horsepower = 746 watts.

Very large magnitude of power is measured in killowats and megawatts.

Mariana [72]

Answer:

The volume of the balloon increases in the upper atmosphere.

Explanation:

p1= 1 atm

p2= 0.15 atm

V1= 15.6 L

V2= ?

p1*V1= p2 * V2

V2= (p1/p2)*V1

V2= 104 L
