Answer:
The balloon hit the ground with velocity -15.34 m/s
Explanation:
<em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>
You found that the best height to pitch a water balloon in order for it to
burst when it hits the ground is 12 meters.
We consider that the 12 meters is the maximum height, so the velocity
at this height is zero.
To find the velocity when the balloon hits the ground lets use the rule
<em>v² = u² + 2gh</em>, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, g is
the acceleration of gravity and h is the height.
u = 0 , h = 12 m , g = 9.8 m/s²
<em>Substitute these values in the equation above</em>
v² = 0 + 2(9.8)(12)
v² = 235.2
<em>Take square root for both sides</em>
v = ±
The velocity is downward, then it's a negative value
Then v = -15.34 m/s
<em>The balloon hit the ground with velocity -15.34 m/s</em>
Answer:
-5.8868501529 m/s² or -5.8868501529g
0.118909090909 s
Explanation:
t = Time taken
u = Initial velocity
v = Final velocity
s = Displacement
a = Acceleration
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
Dividing by g
The acceleration is -5.8868501529 m/s² or -5.8868501529g
The time taken is 0.118909090909 s
