Answer:
It will still hover until the spaceship "hits" or exerts a force on it.
Explanation:
Remember, if there is no net force, there is no acceleration or movement.
In this case, our ball is hovering in the spaceship, and in space, we can assume there is no , and we can assume there is no
, nor no forces acting against it.
So, the ball would not move.
However, once the spaceship starts accelerating, the ball would still hover until the spaceship exerts a force on it.
This is because of the same thing as explained above, no forces acting on it, therefore, no acceleration.
Think about it this way.
Imagine you jumped up, then someone threw a ball at you. Now let's imagine you can't move until you hit the floor, meaning that in an ideal situation only is acting on you. Now again, let's imagine time slows really down for you, but not the ball. Before the ball comes and hits you, you are "hovering" like a ball. But after the ball hits you, you move a little because the ball exerted a force on you.
If you did not understand what I meant above, just forget about it, and think about the fact that if there is a Net force (all the force values added up), then there is acceleration and movement.
Answer:
The distance traveled by the balloon is 10.77 m
Explanation:
velocity of the ball, = 2 m/s south
velocity of the air, = 5 m/s west
To determine the distance the balloon will travel after 2 seconds, first determine the resultant velocity of the balloon.
| 2m/s
|
|
↓
5m/s ←------------------
the two velocities forms a right angled triangle and the resultant will be the hypotenuses side of the triangle.
R² = 5² + 2²
R² = 29
R = √29
R = 5.385 m/s
The distance traveled by the balloon is calculated as;
d = R x t
where;
t is time of the motion = 2 seconds
d = 5.385 x 2
d = 10.77 m
Therefore, the distance traveled by the balloon is 10.77 m.
