Answer:
14.85 m/s
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Height (h) of tower = 45 m
Horizontal distance (s) moved by the balloon = 45 m
Horizontal velocity (u) =?
Next, we shall determine the time taken for the balloon to hit the shoe of the passerby. This is illustrated below:
Height (h) of tower = 45 m
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Time (t) =?
h = ½gt²
45 = ½ × 9.8 × t²
45 = 4.8 × t²
Divide both side by 4.9
t² = 45/4.9
Take the square root of both side
t = √(45/4.9)
t = 3.03 s
Finally, we shall determine the magnitude of the horizontal velocity of the balloon as shown below:
Horizontal distance (s) moved by the balloon = 45 m
Time (t) = 3.03 s
Horizontal velocity (u) =?
s = ut
45 = u × 3.03
Divide both side by 3.03
u = 45/3.03
u = 14.85 m/s
Thus, the magnitude of the horizontal velocity of the balloon was 14.85 m/s
Answer:
1) 1.31 m/s2
2) 20.92 N
3) 8.53 m/s2
4) 1.76 m/s2
5) -8.53 m/s2
Explanation:
1) As the box does not slide, the acceleration of the box (relative to ground) is the same as acceleration of the truck, which goes from 0 to 17m/s in 13 s

2)According to Newton 2nd law, the static frictional force that acting on the box (so it goes along with the truck), is the product of its mass and acceleration

3) Let g = 9.81 m/s2. The maximum static friction that can hold the box is the product of its static coefficient and the normal force.

So the maximum acceleration on the block is

4)As the box slides, it is now subjected to kinetic friction, which is

So if the acceleration of the truck it at the point where the box starts to slide, the force that acting on it must be at 136.6 N too. So the horizontal net force would be 136.6 - 108.3 = 28.25N. And the acceleration is
28.25 / 16 = 1.76 m/s2
5) Same as number 3), the maximum deceleration the truck can have without the box sliding is -8.53 m/s2
Answer:
A+B; 5√5 units, 341.57°
A-B; 5√5 units, 198.43°
B-A; 5√5 units, 18.43°
Explanation:
Given A = 5 units
By vector notation and the axis of A, it is represented as -5j
B = 3 × 5 = 15 units
Using the vector notations and the axis, B is +15i. The following vectors ate taking as the coordinates of A and B
(a) A + B = -5j + 15i
A+B = 15i -5j
|A+B| = √(15)²+(5)²
= 5√5 units
∆ = arctan(5/15) = 18.43°
The angle ∆ is generally used in the diagrams
∆= 18.43°
The direction of A+B is 341.57° based in the condition given (see attachment for diagrams
(b) A - B = -5j -15i
A-B = -15i -5j
|A-B|= √(15)²+(-5)²
|A-B| = √125
|A-B| = 5√5 units
The direction is 180+18.43°= 198.43°
See attachment for diagrams
(c) B-A = 15i -( -5j) = 15i + 5j
|B-A| = 5√5 units
The direction is 18.43°
