Question: A hot-air balloon is ascending at the rate of12m/sand role="math" localid="1662959960903" 80misabove the ground when a package is dropped over the side. (a) How long does the package take to reach the ground? (b) With what speed does it hit the ground?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Time (t) taken by the package to reach the ground is 5.45 sec.
  2. Velocity (v) at which the package will hit the ground is 41.38 m/s.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Initial speed for package, V=-12m/s

Height from which package is vf2=v02+ 2asdroppeds=80m

Acceleration=Gravitational Accelerationa=9.8m/s2

02

Understanding the concept

The problem deals with the kinematic equation of motion in which the motion of an object is described at constant acceleration. Using the Kinematic equation, the velocity and time to reach the ground dropped from hot air balloon at height80m can be calculated.

03

First and second kinematic equation

The velocity in kinematic equation is expressed as,

(i) vf=v0+ at

(ii) 41 m/s

04

Determination of speed of package hits the ground

Consider downward as positive and upward as negative.

Calculate velocity (Part b), which can then be used in the calculation of time.

The balloon is ascending at the rate of -12m/s, and the package is dropped over the side.

Using equation (i), the final velocity will be

vf2=1712m2/s2

vf=41.38m/s

The velocity of the package when it hits the ground is 41.38 m/s

05

Determination of time taken by package to hits the ground

Using equation (ii),

vf=v0+at

41.38m/s=-12m/s+9.8m/s2t53.38m/s=9.8m/s2tt=53.38m/s9.8m/s2=5.4469sec5.45sec

The time taken by the packet to reach the ground is 5.45sec.

The 1992 world speed record for a bicycle (human powered vehicle) was set by Chris Huber. His time through the measured 200 m stretch was a sizzling 6.509 sec , at which he commented 鈥淐ogito ergo zoom!鈥 (I think, therefore I go fast). In 2001, Sam Whittingham beat Huber鈥檚 record by 19.0 km/h. What was Whittingham鈥檚 time through the 200 m?

Figure 2-1 6 gives the velocity of a particle moving on an x axis. What

are (a) the initial and (b) the final directions of travel? (c) Does the particle stop momentarily? (d) Is the acceleration positive or negative? (e) Is it constant or varying?

A salamander of the genus Hydromantes captures prey by launching its tongue as a projectile. The skeletal part of the tongue is shot forward, unfolding the rest of the tongue, until the outer portion lands on the prey, sticking to it. Figure 2-39 shows the acceleration magnitude a versus time t for the acceleration phase of the launch in a typical situation. The indicated accelerations are a2=400m/s2anda1=100m/s2. What is the outward speed of the tongue at the end of the acceleration phase?
