As a runaway scientific balloon ascends at 19.6 m/s, one of its instrument packages breaks free of a harness and free falls. Figure 2-34 gives the vertical velocity of the package versus time, from before it breaks free to when it reaches the ground. (a) What maximum height above the breakpoint does it rise? (b) How high is the break-free point above the ground?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Height above the breakpoint of the balloon is 20 m .

(b) Height of the breakpoint from ground is 59 m .

Step by step solution

01

Understanding of Kinematics equation

To determine how high above the breakpoint the balloon will rise and the height of the breakpoint from the ground, the kinematics equation for the distance or height can be used.

The initial velocity of balloon, v0, is equal to 19.6 m/s

Time the balloon keeps ascending after the breakpointt1=2s.

Gravitational Acceleration is a=g=-9.8m/s2. It is assumed to be negative as it is acting in the downward direction and upward direction is considered as positive.

Time required to reach ground t2=8.00s2.00s=6s,

The formula for the height is,

role="math" localid="1656152167610" h=v0t+12at2 (i)

02

(a) Determination of the height above the breakpoint

Substitute the given information in equation (i) and calculate the height.

h1=v0t1+12at12=19.6m/s2s+12-9.8m/s22s2=19.6m20m

Therefore, the height above the breakpoint of the balloon is20m.

03

(b) Determination of height of breakpoint from ground

Putting the given values in the kinematic equation (i),

h2=v0t2+12at22=19.6ms6s+12-9.8s26s2=58.8m=59m

Therefore, the height of the breakpoint from the ground is59m.
