Given: Change of x is 35.4m, Velocity Final=7.10 m/s, Velocity Initial=0m/s
Find: Acceleration
Analysis:
Vf²=Vi²+2aΔx (Velocity final squared equals Velocity initial squared plus 2 times acceleration times change of x)
(7.10 m²/s)²=(0 m/s)²+2a(35.4 m)
50.41 m/s²=(70.8 m)a
a=0.712 m/s²
So, the work was done by that hot air-balloon is <u>30,000 J or 30 kJ</u>.
<h3>Introduction</h3>
Hi ! In this question, I will help you. <u>Work is the amount of force exerted to cause an object to move a certain distance from its starting point</u>. In physics, the amount of work will be proportional to the increase in force and increase in displacement. Amount of work can be calculated by this equation :

With the following condition :
- W = work (J)
- F = force (N)
- s = shift or displacement (m)
Now, the s (displacement) can be written as ∆h (altitude change) because the object move to vertical line. The formula can also be changed to:

With the following condition :
- W = work (J)
- F = force (N)
= change of altitude (m)
If an object has mass, then the object will also be affected by gravity. Always remember that F = m × g. So that :


With the following condition :
- W = work (J)
- m = mass of the object (kg)
- g = acceleration of the gravity (m/s²)
= change of altitude (m)
<h3>Problem Solving</h3>
We know that :
- F = force = 100 N
= change of altitude 300 m
What was asked :
Step by step :



<h3>Conclusion</h3>
So, the work was done by that hot air-balloon is 30,000 J or 30 kJ.
