Question

Constants Part A A 124-kg balloon carrying a 22-kg basket is descending with a constant downward velocity of 16.4 m/s. A 1.0-kg stone is thrown from the basket with an initial velocity of 19.0 m/s perpendicular 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 17.3 s after it was thrown. Assume that the balloon continues its downward descent with the same constant speed of 16.4 m/s How high was the balloon when the rock was thrown out? Express your answer with the appropriate units ho- Value Units Submit est Part B How high is the balloon when the rock hits the ground? Express your answer with the appropriate units HA hValue Units Submit Part C At the instant the rock hits the ground, how far is it from the basket? Express your answer with the appropriate units. d-Value Units SubmitR Request Answer ▼ Part 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. m/s Submit Request Answer Part Just before the rock hits the ground, find its horizontal and vertical velocity components as measured by an observer at rest on the ground m/s Submit Request Answer

Answer 1

Horizontal velocity of rock remains constant but vertical velocity changes due to gravity
