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

What does Newton's 2nd Law explain?
kow [346]

Answer:

C. Why you must push harder to move a car farther.

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Acceleration = \frac {Force}{mass}

Hence, Newton's 2nd Law explains why you must push harder to move a car farther because of its mass. Thus, it is important to increase the force that the engine provides and decrease the mass of the car.

You place ammonium nitrate crystals in water and stirred. As you do so, the container becomes cold to the touch. This an example
ankoles [38]

The process of flask becoming cold is due to endothermic reaction.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

So two kinds of heat transfer can be possible in any chemical reaction. If the sample is considered as system and the sample container is considered as the surrounding, then heat transfer can occur between them.

If the heat is transferred from the surrounding to the system , then it is an endothermic reaction. And in those cases, the sample holder will be becoming colder. This is because the heat from the surrounding that is the container will be utilized to complete the reaction.

While when there is transfer of heat from the system to surrounding , it will be exothermic reaction and the beaker will be getting hot in this process. So in the present case, the container is becoming cold because of occurrence of endothermic process.
