Question
an 80 kg man is on a ladder
hanging from a balloon that has a total
mass of 320 kg (including the basket passenger).
The balloon is initially stationary relative
to the ground. If the man on the ladder
begins to climb at 2.5 m/s relative to the ladder,
(a) in what direction and (b) at what
speed does the balloon move? (c) If the man
then stops

- A 54.9-kg skater is standing at rest in front of a wall. By pushing against the wall she propels herself backward with a velocity of -1.93 m/s. Her hands are in contact with the wall for 1.09 s. Ignore friction and wind resistance. Find the average force she exerts on the wall (which has the same magnitude, but opposite direction, as the force that the wall applies to her). Note that this force has direction, which you should indicate with the sign of your answer. Number -9.72 Unitsarrow_forwardA boy of mass m = 36 kg is standing initially at rest relative to the moving walkway, which has a constant horizontal speed u = 1.1 m/s. He decides to accelerate his progress and starts to walk from point A with a steadily increasing speed and reaches point B (a distance s = 29 m) with a speed dx/dt = v = 2.5 m/s relative to the walkway. During his acceleration he generates an average horizontal force F between his shoes and the walkway. Calculate the work done on the boy by the force F from an absolute viewpoint and then from a relative viewpoint. Explain the difference. Answers: Absolute viewpoint, Work = i Relative viewpoint, Work = i Jarrow_forwardTwo skaters, a man and a woman, are standing on ice. Neglect any friction between the skate blades and the ice. The mass of the man is 97 kg, and the mass of the woman is 59 kg. The woman pushes on the man with a force of 61 N due east. Determine the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of (a) the man and (b) the woman.arrow_forward
- Two carts, A and B, roll on inclined planes with negligible friction. Cart A has a mass of 1.3 kg and it is on a plane inclined at an angle of ? θ ? θ = 63 degrees. Cart B has a mass of 2.5 kg and it is on a plane inclined at an angle of ? ϕ ? ϕ = 14 degrees. The carts are connected by a (nearly) massless string that runs over a (nearly) massless and frictionless pulley. Find the tension (in newtons) in the string.arrow_forwardDo Two skydivers are holding on to each other while falling straight down at a common terminal speed of 61.90 m/s. Suddenly, they push away from each other. Immediately after separation, the first skydiver, who has a mass m₁ of 94.80 kg, has a velocity U₁ with the following components ("straight down" corresponds to the positive z-axis). U1, y = 4.750 m/s U1,2 = 61.90 m/s What are the x- and y-components of the velocity v₂ of the second skydiver, whose mass m₂ is 57.70 kg, immediately after separation?
