A balloonist happens to drop his metal ballpoint pen from his balloon as he is taking notes on his flight. Because his pen has a

streamlined shape, air resistance has little effect on its fall. The pen strikes the ground at 22 m/s. How high was the balloon?

So this is dealing with the conservation of energy. So you set kinetic energy equal to potential energy, so it looks like this:

1/2mv^2=mgh. The m's cancel out, so it is 1/2v^2=gh.

To find out what the height h is, divide g on both sides, so...

h=0.5v^2/g. v=22m/s, g=9.81m/s^2, so h=(0.5)(22^2)/(9.81)=24.67m

PLEASE HELP
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

3.675 m

Explanation:

a_{x} =0 v_{xo}=100 a_{y} =-g  v_{yo}=0

X-direction     | Y-direction

R=x_{o}+ v_{xo} t  | y=y_{o}+v_{yo}t+\frac{1}{2}a_{y}t^2

75=100t         |y=0+0+\frac{1}{2} (9.8)(0.75)

\frac{75}{100} =t             | y=3.675 m

0.75s=t              

Hope it helps
