A group of big city tenants were upset about rising rent for their apartments, and decided to play a prank on the Building Manag

er. They went up to the top floor of the
building, which was 176.4 m above the sidewalk, and waited. They wanted to drop the balloon at just the right time, so they needed to make a quick calculation. How many
seconds before the Building Manager walks to the spot should they drop the balloon?

Answer:

  t = 6 s

Explanation:

This is a free fall exercise

          y = y₀ + v₀ t - ½ g t²

If the balloon is released its initial velocity is zero, when it reaches the floor its height is also zero, we substitute

         0 = y₀ + 0  - ½ g t2

         t = √(2yo / g)

let's calculate

         t = √ (2 176.4 / 9.8)

         t = 6 s

the balloon must be released 6 s before the person reaches the building

Where on the Earth would you have to be to see the North Celestial Pole exactly halfway between your horizon and zenith?
mario62 [17]

Answer:

The point straight overhead on the celestial sphere for any observer is called the zenith and is always 90 degrees from the horizon. The arc that goes through the north point on the horizon, zenith, and south point on the horizon is called the meridian.

From any location on Earth you see only half of the celestial sphere, the half above the horizon.

If you stood at the North Pole of Earth, for example, you would see the north celestial pole overhead, at your zenith. The celestial equator, 90° from the celestial poles, would lie along your horizon.

Which is not expecting acceleration?
Elena L [17]

#1

A point on the outside of a spinning top whose rotational speed is constant.

Since the point at the top is at rest so it will not accelerate at all

A skydiver whose air resistance is equal to that of her weight.

Since weight is counter balanced by air resistance so net force on it is zero so acceleration will be zero

A car on the freeway experiencing a net force of -120 N.

Since net force is not zero so it will accelerate here

A submerged beach ball whose buoyant force is eight times the force of gravity on it.

Since buoyant force is more than the weight so it will not at rest and move upwards with some acceleration


#2

A frictionless spinning merry go round.

Since spinning wheel accelerating due to centripetal force so it is non inertial frame

A falling rock.

Falling rock is accelerating due to gravity so it is again non inertial frame

A hot air balloon moving at 30 degrees east of north with no net force.

since hot air balloon is having no force on it so its acceleration is zero and its an inertial frame

A space shuttle whose boosters just ignited for takeoff.

Since space shuttle is accelerating due to boosters so it is non inertial frame

#3

Here net force on it is due to two given forces

F_1 = 4320 N towards right

F_2 = 4380 N towards left

so here net force is given as

F = F_2 - F_1

F = 4380 - 4320 = 60 N

since force towards left is more so the direction will be towards left

so correct answer is 60 N towards left
