Can you help me solve this problem please?
A hot air ballon is rising into the air with a constant velocity of 4.75 m/s. The person riding in the hot air ballon drops a bag of flour when the balloon is 18.5 m from the ground. How long does it take the bag to hit the ground after it has been released?
Expert Solution
arrow_forward
Step 1: Here I describe the given value.
Here
Initial velocity of the air ballon = u 4.75 m/s
Height from the ground when a bag is dropped = 18.5m
I have to calculate the time taken by the bag to hit the ground after it has been released.

- A model rocket is fired straight up from the top of a 50-m tall building. The rocket has only enough fuel to burn for 2s. But while the rocket engine is burning fuel, it produces an upward acceleration of 50 m/s^2. After the fuel supply is exhausted, the rocket is in free fall and just misses the edge of a building as it falls back to the ground. Ignoring air resistance, calculate a. the height above the ground and the velocity of the rocket when its fuel runs out. b. the maximum height of the rocket c. the time the rocket is in the air. d. the rocket's velocity the moment before it hits the ground.arrow_forwardYou are driving your car along a country road at a speed of 23.6 m/s. As you come over the crest of a hill, you notice a farm tractor 25.0 m ahead of you on the road, moving in the same direction as you at a speed of 10.0 m/s. You immediately slam on your brakes and slow down with a constant acceleration of magnitude 7.20 m/s2. How far is the tractor in front of you when you finally stop?arrow_forwardA rocket blasts off vertically from rest on the launch pad with a constant upward acceleration of 2.90 m/s2m/s2. At 30.0 ss after blastoff, the engines suddenly fail, and the rocket begins free fall. What is the height of the rocket when the engine fails? Find the magnitude of the rocket's velocity at its highest point. Find the magnitude of the rocket's acceleration at its highest point. How long after it was launched will the rocket fall back to the launch pad?arrow_forward
- You have two stones in your hands, and you are standing on a bridge. You throw the first stone with a velocity of 8.00 m/s upward. One second later, you let drop the second stone. Both stones hit the water below the bridge at the same time. a)For how much time is the first stone in free fall? b)What is the distance from your hand to the water? c) What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the first stone when it hits the water?arrow_forwardHello. I am working on a problem with motion. The questions asks me to calculate the maximum height (h1), total time (t2), and speed of a ball right before it hits the ground. The question states that A person is throwing a ball upward into the air with an initial speed Vo = 10m/s. Assume that the instant when the ball is released, the person's hand is at a height ho = 1.5m. The speed of the ball at its peak height is zero, and the question needs to be solved in ascending part and descending part. I don't understand how to solve for the maximum height. What is the correct formula to use and why? For other questions like this, I will be able to solve them if I know the formulas for the ascending of the ball and the descent of the ball as well as the explanation. Thank you. For the sake of the question, the ball is being thrown straight up.arrow_forwardA truck, stolen by Dora the Explorer is initially stopped 10.0 m from the base of a building. Peppa pig is 22.0 m above the ground on the balcony of her office building. The truck begins to accelerate towards the building. One second after the truck moves, Peppa pig jumps off the balcony. Peppa pig, in an attempt to stop Dora the Explorer, times her fall perfectly and lands on the truck, which is 3.0 meters above the ground. What was the acceleration of the truck and its final velocity (assume constant acceleration)?arrow_forward

- A skydiver jumps out of an airplane. Her speed steadily increases until she deploys her parachute, at which point her speed quickly decreases. She subsequently falls to earth at a constant rate, stopping when she lands on the ground.
