A hot–air balloon is moving at a speed of 10.0 meters/second in the +x–direction. The balloonist throws a brass ball in the +x–d

irection at a velocity of +4 meters/second with respect to himself. If the ball lands after 30 seconds, about how far does it land horizontally from the point at which it was released?
A. 120 meters
B. 125 meters
C. 300 meters
D. 420 meters

Answer:

Option (D) is correct.

Explanation:

The balloon lands horizontally at a distance of 420 m from a point where it as released.

Velocity of air balloon along +X axis =10 m/s

velocity of ball=4 m/s along + X axis

the velocity of balloon gets added to the velocity of ball. So the resultant velocity of the balloon=10+4 = 14 m/s

time taken= 30 s

The distance traveled is given by d= v t

d= 14 (30)

d= 420 m

Thus the balloon lands horizontally at a distance of 420 m from a point where it as released.

Given :

Wavelength ( λ ) = 2 m

$\: \:$

Speed = 4 m/s

$\: \:$

We, have to find frequency :

$\:$

$\large \tt \: Frequency = \frac{Speed}{Wavelength ( \: λ \: )}$

$\: \:$

$\large \tt \: Frequency = \frac{4}{2}$

$\: \:$

$\large \tt \: Frequency = \cancel \frac{4}{2}$

$\: \:$

$\pink{ \boxed{\large \tt \: Frequency =2 \: Hertz ✓}}$

A pendulum is made by letting a 4 kg mass swing at the end of a string that has a length of 1.5 meter. The maximum angle that th

Answer:

Approximately $7.8\; \rm J$ .

Explanation:

The change in the gravitational potential energy of the pendulum is directly related to the change in its height.

Refer to the sketch attached. The pendulum is initially at $\rm P_2$ . Its highest point is at $P_1$ . The length of segment $\rm BP_2$ gives the change in its height.

The lengths of $\rm AP_1$ and $\rm AP_2$ are simply the length of the string, $1.5\; \rm m$ . To find the length of $\rm BP_2$ , start by calculating the length of $\rm AB$ .

$\rm AB$ forms a leg in the right triangle $\rm \triangle AP_1B$ . Besides, it is adjacent to the $30^\circ$ angle $\rm P_1\hat{A}B$ . Its length would be:

$\rm AB = 1.5 \times \cos(30^\circ) \approx 1.30\; \rm m$ .

The length of $\rm BP_2$ would thus be

$\rm BP_2 = AP_2 - AB = 1.5 - 1.30 \approx 0.20\; \rm m$ .

The change in gravitational potential energy can be found with the equation

$\Delta \mathrm{GPE} = m \cdot g \cdot \Delta h$ . In this equation,

$m$ is the mass of the object,
$g \approx 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1}$ near the surface of the earth, and
$\Delta h$ is the change in the object's height.

In this case, $m = 4\; \rm kg$ and $\Delta h \approx 0.20\; \rm m$ . Therefore:

$\Delta \mathrm{GPE} = 4 \times 9.81 \times 0.20 \approx 7.8\; \rm J$ .
