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.

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?

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?

The wings on a stonefly do not flap, and thus the insect cannot fly. However, when the insect is on a water surface, it can sail across the surface by lifting its wings into a breeze. Suppose that you time stoneflies as they move at constant speed along a straight path of a certain length. On average, the trips each take7.1swith the wings set as sails and 25.0swith the wings tucked in. (a) What is the ratio of the sailing speed vsto the non-sailing speed localid="1654754209433" vns? (b) In terms oflocalid="1654754226410" vs, what is the difference in the times the insects take to travel the first2.0malong the path with and without sailing?

A rock is shot vertically upward from the edge of the top of a tall building. The rock reaches its maximum height above the top of the building 1.60safter being shot. Then, after barely missing the edge of the building as it falls downward, the rock strikes the ground6.00safter it is launched. In SI units: (a) with what upward velocity is the rock shot, (b) what maximum height above the top of the building is reached by the rock, and (c) how tall is the building?
