A hot air balloon is travelling vertically upward at a constant speed of 3.7 m/s. When it is 27 m above ground, a package is released from the ballon.
a) After it's released, for how long is the package in the air in units of s? Acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s/s.
b)What is the speed just before impact with the ground in m/s?
c) Now assume the hot air balloon is traveling vertically downward at a constant speed of 3.7 m/s. After the package is released, how long is it in the air in s?
d) What is the speed just before impact with the ground in m/s?
Does the magnitude of your acceleration have to be greater than 9.8m/s² to leave the ground? explain.

- You throw a baseball straight up in the air so that it rises to a maximum height much greater than your height. Is the magnitude of the ball’s acceleration greater while it is being thrown or after it leaves your hand? Explain.arrow_forwardAn elevator starts from rest and moves upward, accelerating at a rate of 1.2 m/s2 until it reaches a speed of 7.8 m/s, which it then maintains. Two seconds after the elevator begins to move, a man standing 12 m above the initial position of the top of the elevator throws a ball upward with an initial velocity of 20 m/s. Determine when the ball will hit the elevator.arrow_forwardYou drop an object from rest (initial velocity = 0) from a height of 6.8 metres. What is the final speed of the object as it hits the floor? (Speed is a magnitude and so must be a positive value). Assume the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s2. Give your answer to 2 s.f.arrow_forward
