A small bag of sand is released from an ascending hot-air balloon whose upward constant velocity is v0 = 2.45 m/s. knowing that

at the time of the release the balloon was 98.8 m above the ground, determine the time, τ, it takes the bag to reach the ground from the moment of its release.

When you draw an illustration for this problem, you would come up with the same drawing as shown in the picture. As the hot-air balloon travels upwards, there is a slight time when the bag of sand rises up until it reaches the maximum height. Then, it goes back down to the ground. The total time would be t₁ + t₂. The solution is as follows:

H = v₀²/2g = (2.45)²/2(9.81) = 0.306 m
t₁ = H/v₀ = 0.306 m/2.45 m/s = 0.125 s

t₂ = √2(H + 98.8)/g = √2(0.306+ 98.8)/9.81
t₂ = 4.495 s

Total time = 0.125 s + 4.495 s = 4.62 seconds

The sun’s energy is most useful to humans after it is converted to _____.
Trava [24]
The sun’s energy is most useful to humans after it is converted to chemical energy. Living organisms like humans and animals could not directly utilize the energy from the sun because of lack in organs that would allow photosynthesis. Humans and animals obtain the energy from the sun from the intake of food. These foods contain chemical energy which is obtained from the solar energy of the sun. Plants use solar energy for photosynthesis which converts the energy into chemical energy. Then, animals and humans eat the plants obtaining the chemical energy which can readily processed by the body as compared to solar energy.

What is its maximum altitude above the ground? The answer is the maximum height above the ground
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Maximum altitude above the ground = 1,540,224 m = 1540.2 km

Explanation:

Using the equations of motion

u = initial velocity of the projectile = 5.5 km/s = 5500 m/s

v = final velocity of the projectile at maximum height reached = 0 m/s

g = acceleration due to gravity = (GM/R²) (from the gravitational law)

g = (6.674 × 10⁻¹¹ × 5.97 × 10²⁴)/(6370000²)

g = -9.82 m/s² (minus because of the direction in which it is directed)

y = vertical distance covered by the projectile = ?

v² = u² + 2gy

0² = 5500² + 2(-9.82)(y)

19.64y = 5500²

y = 1,540,224 m = 1540.2 km

Hope this Helps!!!

Why are we not able to see immediate after we enter a dark hall from a lighter place.
Kipish [7]
Technically this is a Biology question;

The 'amount' we can see depends on how much light can get through our pupil to hit our retina.
When there is a lot of light the pupil is small; it doesn't need to be big to let a lot of light in.
When we move to a dark space there is much less light, so the pupil 'dilates' to let enough light so we can see properly.
The period in which one cant see is simply when the pupil hasn't had time to change shape yet so doesn't let in enough light.<span />

What type of heat transfer is used to fry an egg in a pan and how can you tell?
Deffense [45]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A process in which transfer of heat occurring when one object touches another object is known as conduction.  

For example, when a pan is heated and then an egg is placed over the pan. Then there will be transfer of heat from pan towards the egg.

As a result, the egg gets cooked because the egg was touching the pan.

Hence, we can conclude that it is conduction because the egg is touching the pan.
