A hot air balloon competition requires a balloonist to drop a ribbon onto a target on the ground. Initially the hot air balloon

is 50 meters above the ground and 100 meters from the target. The wind is blowing the balloon at v = 15 meters/sec on a course to travel directly over the target. The ribbon is heavy enough that any effects of the air slowing the vertical velocity of the ribbon are negligible. How long should the balloonist wait to drop the ribbon so that it will hit the target?

Answer:

The answer is 3.48 seconds

Explanation:

The kinematic equation

y= y0+V0*t+1/2*a*(t*t)

-50=0+(0)t+1/2(-9.8)*(t*t)

t=3.194 seconds

During ribbons ball,

x=x0+ Vt+1/2*a*(t*t)

x= 0+(15)*(3.194)+1/2*(0)* (3.194*3.194)

x= 47.9157m

So, distance (D) = 100-47.9157= 52.084m

52.084m=0+15(t)+1/2*(0)(t*t)

t=52.084/15=3.472286= 3.48seconds

A flat uniform circular disk (radius = 2.30 m, mass = 1.00 ✕ 102 kg) is initially stationary. The disk is free to rotate in the
Vadim26 [7]

The resulting angular speed = 0.6 rad / s.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Here there is no external torque acting on the system thus we can apply the law of conservation of angular  momentum  

Angular momentum of the man = Iω

Where I = Inertia of the man about the axis of rotation

or         I = M r 2

            I  = 50 * 1.25*1.25 = 78.125

w = Angular velocity of the man, that can be calculated as follows

Tangential velocity of man = v = 2m/s  

So time taken to describe this circle is t = (2*pi* r) / v

Now angle described in 1 revolution θ = 2*pi radians

This angle is subtended in time t = (2*pi* r) / v

Thus angular speed = w = θ/t = 2*pi* ( v/ 2π r) = v/r = 2.70 / 1.25 = 2.16 rad/s

So angular momentum of man = Iw = 78.125 * 2.16 = 168.75.

To conserve the angular momentum before and after,

Angular momentum of disk = angular momentum of the man  

           i.e.             Iw of disk = 168.75

                                disk of I = (disk of M*R^2) / 2

                                              = (1.00 * 102 * 2.30 * 2.30) / 2

                                              = 269.79

                 Thus 269.79 of disk of w = 168.75

      Resulting angular speed of disk = 168.75 / 269.79 = 0.6 ras / s

Electric fields are vector quantities whose magnitudes are measured in units of volts/meter (V/m). Find the resultant electric f
musickatia [10]

Answer:

Er = 231.76 V/m, 27.23° to the left of E1

Explanation:

To find the resultant electric field, you can use the component method. Where you add the respective x-component and y-component of each vector:

E1:

E_1_x = 0V/m\\E_1_y=100V/m

E2:

Keep in mind that the x component of electric field E2 is directed to the left.

E_2_x= 150V/m*-sin(45) = 106.07 V/m\\E_2_y=150V/m*cos(45) = 106.07V/m

∑x: E_1_x+E_2_x = 0V/m - 106.07V/m = -106.07V/m

∑y: E_1_y + E_2_y = 100V/m + 106.07V/m = 206.07V/m

The magnitud of the resulting electric field can be found using pythagorean theorem. For the direction, we will use trigonometry.

||E_r||= \sqrt{(-106.07V/m)^2+(206.07V/m)^2} = 231.76 V/m\\\\\alpha = arctan(\frac{206.7 V/m}{-106.07 V/m}) = 117.24degrees

or 27.23° to the left of E1.
