A hot-air balloonist, rising vertically with a constant speed of 5.00 m/s releases a sandbag at the instant the balloon is 40.0

m above the ground. After it is released, the sandbag encounters no appreciable air drag. Compute the velocity of the sandbag at 0.250 s after its release. 7.45

Answer:

The velocity of the sandbag after 0.250 seconds is 2.5475 m/s in upward direction relative to ground.

Explanation:

Since the sand bag is released from a moving air balloon initially it will have the same velocity as the balloon itself.

Thus the case is that of motion under gravity.

The velocity after 0.250 seconds can be found by using first equation of kinematics as follows

$v=u+at$

we have u = 5.00 m/s

a=g= $-9.81m/s^{2}$ Since it acts opposite to the initial velocity.

Applying values in the equation we get

$v=5.00-9.81\times 0.250=2.5475m/s$

Newton's Law of Gravitation says that the magnitude F of the force exerted by a body of mass m on a body of mass M is F = GmM r2

Nookie1986 [14]

<h2>Answers:</h2>

<h2>(a) </h2>

According to Newton's Law of Gravitation, the Gravity Force is:

$F=\frac{GMm}{{r}^{2}}$ (1)

This expression can also be written as:

$F=GMm{r}^{-2}$ (2)

If we derive this force $F$ respect to the distance $r$ between the two masses:

$\frac{dF}{dr}dFdr=\frac{d}{dr}(GMm{r}^{-2})dr$ (3)

Taking into account $GMm$ are constants:

$\frac{dF}{dr}dFdr=-2GMm{r}^{-3}$ (4)

Or

$\frac{dF}{dr}dFdr=-2\frac{GMm}{{r}^{3}}$ (5)

<h2> (b) dF/dr represents the rate of change of the force with respect to the distance between the bodies. </h2><h2 />

In other words, this means how much does the Gravity Force changes with the distance between the two bodies.

More precisely this change is inversely proportional to the distance elevated to the cubic exponent.

As the distance increases, the Force decreases.

<h2>(c) The minus sign indicates that the bodies are being forced in the negative direction. </h2>

This is because Gravity is an attractive force, as well as, a central conservative force.

This means it does not depend on time, and both bodies are mutually attracted to each other.

<h2>(d) </h2>

In the first answer we already found the decrease rate of the Gravity force respect to the distance, being its unit $N/km$ :

$\frac{dF}{dr}dFdr=-2\frac{GMm}{{r}^{3}}$ (5)

We have a force that decreases with a rate 1 $\frac{dF_{1}}{dr}dFdr=4N/km$ when $r=20000km$ :

$4N/km=-2\frac{GMm}{{(20000km)}^{3}}$ (6)

Isolating $-2GMm$ :

$-2GMm=(4N/km)({(20000km)}^{3})$ (7)

In addition, we have another force that decreases with a rate 2 $\frac{dF_{2}}{dr}dFdr=X$ when $r=10000km$ :

$XN/km=-2\frac{GMm}{{(10000km)}^{3}}$ (8)

Isolating $-2GMm$ :

$-2GMm=X({(10000km)}^{3})$ (9)

Making (7)=(9):

$(4N/km)({(20000km)}^{3})=X({(10000km)}^{3}$ (10)

Then isolating $X$ :

$X=\frac{4N/km)({(20000km)}^{3}}{{(10000km)}^{3}}$

Solving and taking into account the units, we finally have:

$X=-32N/km$ >>>>This is how fast this force changes when $r=10000 km$
