A hot-air balloon is ascending at the rate of 14 m/s and is 84 m above the ground when a package is dropped over the side. (a) How long does the package take to reach the ground? (b) With what speed does it hit the ground?

a) t = 4.14 s

b) Speed with which it hits the ground = 40.58 m/s

Explanation:

Using the equations of motion,

g = 9.8 m/s², y = H = 84 m,

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s,

final velocity, v = ?

Total Time of fall, t = ?

a) y = ut + gt²/2

84 = 0 + 9.8t²/2

4.9t² = 84

t² = 84/4.9

t = 4.14 s

b) v = u + gt

v = 0 + (9.8 × 4.14)

v = 40.58 m/s

that would be because of both gravity and friction. so     c

report!

explanation:

physics means: "the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. the subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms."
