Explanation:
Track and Field is a sport, which is includes disciplines of running, jumping, and throwing events. The sport traces back to Ancient Greece. The first recorded examples of this sport were at the Ancient Greek Olympics. In Ancient Greece, only one event was contested, the stadion footrace. Later on, the game expanded to more events.Events of track and field are divided into three: track events, field events, and combined events. Track events consist of Sprints, middle-distance, long distance, hurdles and relays; Field events consist of jumps and throws; while combined events consist of pentathlon, heptathlon, and decathlon. Track and field is usually played outdoors in stadiums. The usual features of a track and field stadium are the outer running track, and the field within the track
Answer:
14.85 m/s
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Height (h) of tower = 45 m
Horizontal distance (s) moved by the balloon = 45 m
Horizontal velocity (u) =?
Next, we shall determine the time taken for the balloon to hit the shoe of the passerby. This is illustrated below:
Height (h) of tower = 45 m
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Time (t) =?
h = ½gt²
45 = ½ × 9.8 × t²
45 = 4.8 × t²
Divide both side by 4.9
t² = 45/4.9
Take the square root of both side
t = √(45/4.9)
t = 3.03 s
Finally, we shall determine the magnitude of the horizontal velocity of the balloon as shown below:
Horizontal distance (s) moved by the balloon = 45 m
Time (t) = 3.03 s
Horizontal velocity (u) =?
s = ut
45 = u × 3.03
Divide both side by 3.03
u = 45/3.03
u = 14.85 m/s
Thus, the magnitude of the horizontal velocity of the balloon was 14.85 m/s
This leads to a paradox known as the Gibbs paradox, after Josiah Willard Gibbs. The paradox allows for the entropy of closed systems to decrease, violating the second law of thermodynamics. A related paradox is the "mixing paradox".
