a. There is nothing suggesting that the balloon is accelerating horizontally, so we can assume that its horizontal speed is constant. The time before the balloon crash into the hill is simply the distance between the balloon and the hill divided by its velocity. Remember that velocity is simply the amount of distance that a object travels in a certain amount of time:

$t = \frac{130m}{2.8 m/s} = 46.43 s$

b. Know that you know the maximum amount of time that the balloon can take to gain 28m of altitude, the minimum acceleration can be found using the equations constant acceleration motion:

$x = \frac{1}{2}at^2 + v_ot +x_0$

where a is the acceleration, v_o is the initial vertical velocity, 0 as the balloon is not moving vertically before starting to ascend. xo is the initial position, which we will give a value of 0m.

$x = \frac{1}{2}at^2\\ 28m = \frac{1}{2}(46.43s)^2a\\ a = \frac{2*28m}{(46.43s)^2} = 0.026 m/s^2$

c. As we said before, there isn't any kind of force that accelerates the balloon horizontally, therefore, we can consider that its horizontal velocity is constant and equal to 2.8m/s

d. Acceleration is the amount of change in velocity after a given amount of time. So, with the acceleration and the time we can fin the velocity:

$v_y = a_y*t = 0.026m/s^2*46.43s=1.206 m/s$

a set of water travels at 10 m/s, and 5.0 waves pass you in 2.0s. what is the wavelength of the waves?

Alecsey [184]

Well, I think the answer would be 4 meters because the speed is in meters per second and the frequency is 5 waves every 2 seconds.
Wavelength = Speed/Frequency
I think the frequency is 2.5 waves a second but that's not something I'm 100% sure about.
I hope this helps though.

I’m not sure how to do this

Do what?? i know how to do a lot of things to answer but there’s nothing to answer.‍♀️

Fluid clutches are used on equipment that is subjected to?

mamaluj [8]

Fluid clutches are used on equipment that is subjected to higher torque per unit volume. This type of clutch makes use of an incompressible fluid like oil in order to transfer the input of a movement from a pedal and cylinder to an actuating cylinder. Releasing the this clutch would stop the transfer of power but still allowing the engine to turn continuously.
