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

Work output of a large machine in a factory is 89,000 joules, and it’s input is 102,000 joules. Work output of a similar machine
mojhsa [17]
(89000/102000)×100
=87.25%

(92000/104000)×100
=88.46%

efficiency is (output/input)×100
if u get confused which way input and output should go, remember the smaller value is always output and it's above in the fraction, then only it's possible to get a efficiency lower than 100.

Background information about reflection and refraction of light
KIM [24]

Answer:

reflection :

  • angle of reflection and angle of incidence is equal
  • Incident ray and reflect d ray plus normal lies on the same plan on a same point
  • light reflect uniformly if it is incident on a plan surface

refraction :

  • light will refrect if light goes from rare medium to a dense medium or vice versa
  • after the light is refracted, it retunes to its original direction
  • angle of incidence is not equal to the angle of refraction
