A 124-kg balloon carrying a 22-kg basket is descending with a constant downward velocity of 25.1 m/s . A 1.0-kg stone is thrown from the basket with an initial velocity of 17.7 m/sperpendicular to the path of the descending balloon, as measured relative to a person at rest in the basket. That person sees the stone hit the ground 13.9 s after it was thrown. Assume that the balloon continues its downward descent with the same constant speed of 25.1 m/s .

a.How high was the balloon when the rock was thrown out?

b.How high is the balloon when the rock hits the ground?

c.At the instant the rock hits the ground, how far is it from the basket?

d.Just before the rock hits the ground, find its horizontal and vertical velocity components as measured by an observer at rest in the basket.

e.Just before the rock hits the ground, find its horizontal and vertical velocity components as measured by an observer at rest on the ground.

1. A 20 kg block is attached to a very light horizontal spring of force constant 500 N/m and is resting on a frictionless horizontal table. Suddenly it is struck by a 3kg stone travelling horizontally to the right at 8m/s, whereupon the stone rebounds at 2m/s horizontally to the left. Find the maximum distance that the block will compress the spring after collision. Draw two diagrams: one for the collision and one for energy. 2. A rifle of mass...

You are in a hot-air balloon that ascends at a constant velocity of 2.75 m/s for 10 minutes. Your combined mass, you, the balloon and all of the balloon’s hardware, is 1350 kg. How much work is done against gravity during this ascent? What is the change in the gravitational potential energy of the hot-air balloon system? If you drop an object out of the balloon at rest with respect to the balloon, at what speed will it just strike...
