Answer: 80m
Explanation:
Distance of balloon to the ground is 3150m
Let the distance of Menin's pocket to the ground be x
Let the distance between Menin's pocket to the balloon be y
Hence, x=3150-y------1
Using the equation of motion,
V^2= U^s + 2gs--------2
U= initial speed is 0m/s
g is replaced with a since the acceleration is under gravity (g) and not straight line (a), hence g is taken as 10m/s
40m/s is contant since U (the coin is at rest is 0) hence V =40m/s
Slotting our values into equation 2
40^2= 0^2 + 2 * 10* (3150-y)
1600 = 0 + 63000 - 20y
1600 - 63000 = - 20y
-61400 = - 20y minus cancel out minus on both sides of the equation
61400 = 20y
Hence y = 61400/20
3070m
Hence, recall equation 1
x = 3150 - 3070
80m
I hope this solve the problem.
The student's average speed for the dash was 8.2 m/s. It's not possible to completely describe the student's velocity, because there's no information to tell us what direction she ran.
