Let the mass of the person be m. Total momentum is conserved (because the exterior forces on the system are balanced), especially the component in the vertical direction.
Given that,
Mass of gallon is M
Let man mass be m
Velocity of man is v
Let velocity if ballot be Vb
When the person begin to move we have
Conservation of momentum
mv + MVb=0
MVb=-mv
Vb= -(m/M) v
Given that the mass of man is less than mass of balloon. i.e. m<M
So, if m<M, then, m/M <1
Therefore, .
Vb= -(m/M) v
Vb< -v
This implies that the velocity of balloon is less than the velocity of man and if is also moving in opposite direction
So the man is moving upward, then the balloon is moving downward and it's velocity is less than the velocity of man,
The answer is C
Down with a speed less than v
The height to which the weight-watcher must climb to work off the equivalent 991 (food) Calories is 0.59 Km
<h3>How to determine the energy. </h3>
1 food calorie = 103 calories
Therefore,
991 food calories = 991 × 103
991 food calories = 102073 calories
Multiply by 4.2 to express in joule (J)
991 food calories = 102073 × 4.2
991 food calories = 428706.6 J
<h3>How to determine the height </h3>
- Energy (E) = 428706.6 J
- Mass (m) = 73.9 kg
- Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
E = mgh
Divide both side by mg
h = E / mg
h = 428706.6 / (73.9 × 9.8)
h = 591.95 m
Divide by 1000 to express in km
h = 591.95 / 1000
h = 0.59 Km

<h2>Right answer: acceleration due to gravity is always the same </h2><h2 />
According to the experiments done and currently verified, in vacuum (this means there is not air or any fluid), all objects in free fall experience the same acceleration, which is <u>the acceleration of gravity</u>.
Now, in this case we are on Earth, so the gravity value is 
Note the objects experience the acceleration of gravity regardless of their mass.
Nevertheless, on Earth we have air, hence <u>air resistance</u>, so the afirmation <em>"Free fall is a situation in which the only force acting upon an object is gravity" </em>is not completely true on Earth, unless the following condition is fulfiled:
If the air resistance is <u>too small</u> that we can approximate it to <u>zero</u> in the calculations, then in free fall the objects will accelerate downwards at and hit the ground at approximately the same time.
