A 124-kg balloon carrying a 22-kg basket is descending with a constant downward velocity of 20.0 m/ s. A I.O-kg stone is thrown

from the basket with an initial velocity of 15.0 m/ s perpendicular to the path of the descending balloon, as measured relative to a person at rest in the basket. The person in the basket sees the stone hit the ground 6.00 s after being thrown. Assume ,that the balloon continues its downward descent with the same constant speed of 20.0 m/ s. (a) How high was the balloon when the rock was thrown out? (b) How high is the balloon when the rock hits the ground') (c) At the instant the rock hits the ground, how far is it from the basket? (d) Just before the rock hits the ground, find its horizontal and vertical velocity components as measured by an observer (i) at rest in the basket and (ii) at rest on the ground

(a) 296.6 m

The motion of the stone is the motion of a projectile, thrown with a horizontal speed of

v_x = 15.0 m/s

and with an initial vertical velocity of

v_{y0} = -20.0 m/s

where we have put a negative sign to indicate that the direction is downward.

The vertical position of the stone at time t is given by

y(t) = h + v_{0y} t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2 (1)

where

h is the initial height

g = -9.81 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

The stone hits the ground after a time t = 6.00 s, so at this time the vertical position is zero:

y(6.00 s) = 0

Substituting into eq.(1), we can solve to find the initial height of the stone, h:

0 = h + v_{0y} y + \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\h = -v_{0y} y - \frac{1}{2}gt^2=-(-20.0 m/s)(6.00 s) - \frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(6.00 s)^2=296.6 m

(b) 176.6 m

The balloon is moving downward with a constant vertical speed of

v_y = -20 m/s

So the vertical position of the balloon after a time t is

y(t) = h + v_y t

and substituting t = 6.0 s and h = 296.6 m, we find the height of the balloon when the rock hits the ground:

y(t) = 296.6 m + (-20.0 m)(6.00 s)=176.6 m

(c) 198.2 m

In order to find how far is the rock from the balloon when it hits the ground, we need to find the horizontal distance covered by the rock during the time of the fall.

The horizontal speed of the rock is

v_x = 15.0 m/s

So the horizontal distance travelled in t = 6.00 s is

d_x = v_x t = (15.0 m/s)(6.00 s)=90 m

Considering also that the vertical height of the balloon after t=6.00 s is

d_y = 176.6 m

The distance between the balloon and the rock can be found by using Pythagorean theorem:

d=\sqrt{(90 m)^2+(176.6 m)^2}=198.2 m

(di) 15.0 m/s, -58.8 m/s

For an observer at rest in the basket, the rock is moving horizontally with a velocity of

v_x = 15.0 m/s

Instead, the vertical velocity of the rock for an observer at rest in the basket is

v_y (t) = gt

Substituting time t=6.00 s, we find

v_y = (-9.8 m/s)(6.00 s)=-58.8 m/s

(dii) 15.0 m/s, -78.8 m/s

For an observer at rest on the ground, the rock is still moving horizontally with a velocity of

v_x = 15.0 m/s

Instead, the vertical velocity of the rock for an observer on the ground is now given by

v_y (t) = v_{0y} + gt

Substituting time t=6.00 s, we find

v_y = (-20.0 m/s)+(-9.8 m/s)(6.00 s)=-78.8 m/s

Why is Jupiter so much larger than Earth? Check all that apply
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Moreover, Boss says that even if Jupiter is proven to have a core, the planet still could have formed that core through disk instability. Enough dust could have collected and cemented together in the dense gas to form a core many times larger than the size of the Earth.

Explanation:

The same is true of most other objects in the solar system — except Jupiter. The gas giant is so big that it pulls the center of mass between it and the sun, also known as the barycenter, some 1.07 solar radii from the star's center — which is about 30,000 miles above the sun's surface.

A passenger in a helicopter traveling upwards at 15 m/s accidentally drops a package out the window. If it takes 15 seconds to r
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The helicopter was 1103.63 meters high when the package was dropped.

Explanation:

We consider positive speed as a downward movement

y: height (m)

t: time (s)

v₀: initial speed (m/s)

Δy = v₀t + \frac{1}{2}gt²

Δy= 15\frac{m}{s}×15 s + \frac{1}{2}×9.81\frac{m}{s^{2} }×(15 s)²

Δy= 1103.63 m

If a cup of coffee has temperature 95∘C95∘C in a room where the temperature is 20∘C,20∘C, then, according to Newton's Law of Coo
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

T = 76.39°C

Explanation:

given,

coffee cup temperature = 95°C

Room temperature= 20°C

expression

T( t ) = 20 + 75 e^{\dfrac{-t}{50}}

temperature at t = 0

T( 0 ) = 20 + 75 e^{\dfrac{-0}{50}}

T(0) = 95°C

temperature after half hour of cooling

T( t ) = 20 + 75 e^{\dfrac{-t}{50}}

t = 30 minutes

T( 30 ) = 20 + 75 e^{\dfrac{-30}{50}}

T( 30 ) = 20 + 75 \times 0.5488

T(30) = 61.16° C

average of first half hour will be equal to

T = \dfrac{1}{30-0}\int_0^30(20 + 75 e^{\dfrac{-t}{50}})\ dt

T = \dfrac{1}{30}[(20t - \dfrac{75 e^{\dfrac{-t}{50}}}{\dfrac{1}{50}})]_0^30

T = \dfrac{1}{30}[(20t - 3750e^{\dfrac{-t}{50}}]_0^30

T = \dfrac{1}{30}[(20\times 30 - 3750 e^{\dfrac{-30}{50}} + 3750]

T = \dfrac{1}{30}[600 - 2058.04 + 3750]

T = 76.39°C

#1 a person weighs 540n on earth what is the persons mass.
bixtya [17]

Answer:

G on earth =10N/Kg

W= mg

540= m x 10

m = 540/10

m= 54 Kg

W= mg

W= 66 x 10

W= 660 N

G on moon =1.6 N/Kg

#1

W= mg

W= 54 x 1.6

W=86.4 N

#2

W=mg

W= 66 x 1.6

W= 105.6 N
