You throw a balloon that floats in the air with a velocity of 2 m / s south . If the wind speed is 5 m / s west , how far south

Answer:

The distance traveled by the balloon is 10.77 m

Explanation:

velocity of the ball, v_b = 2 m/s south

velocity of the air, v_a = 5 m/s west

To determine the distance the balloon will travel after 2 seconds, first determine the resultant velocity of the balloon.

                                       | 2m/s

                                       |

                                       |

                                      ↓

      5m/s  ←------------------

the two velocities forms a right angled triangle and the resultant will be the hypotenuses side of the triangle.

R² = 5² + 2²

R² = 29

R = √29

R = 5.385 m/s

The distance traveled by the balloon is calculated as;

d = R x t

where;

t is time of the motion = 2 seconds

d = 5.385 x 2

d = 10.77 m

Therefore, the distance traveled by the balloon is 10.77 m.

a plane is flying due east in still air at 395 km/h. suddenly, the plane is hit by wind blowing at 55km/h toward the west. what
Sphinxa [80]
Let's be clear:  The plane's "395 km/hr" is speed relative to the
air, and the wind's "55 km/hr" is speed relative to the ground.

Before the wind hits, the plane moves east at 395 km/hr relative
to both the air AND the ground.

After the wind hits, the plane still maintains the same air-speed.
That is, its velocity relative to the air is still 395 km/hr east.
But the wind vector is added to the air-speed vector, and the
plane's velocity <span>relative to the ground drops to 340 km/hr east</span>.

Alex787 [66]
Hey there!

The answer would be B. The sound moves from air to water.

Sound travels through different mediums. It goes fastest in solids, a little slower in liquids, and slowest in air. Sound is a very fast wave, but remember that mediums can differ that. In a vacuum space, there is no sound at all. (ex. outer space)

Hope this helps !
