A balloon was moving upwards with a uniform velocity of 10 m/s. An object of finite mass is dropped from the balloon when it was at a height of 75 m from the ground level. The height of the balloon from the ground when object strikes the ground was around :
(takes the value of g as 10 m/s²)
A balloon was moving upwards with a uniform velocity of 10 m/s. An object of finite mass is dropped from the balloon when it was at a height of 75 m from the ground level. The height of the balloon from the ground when object strikes the ground was around :
(takes the value of g as 10 m/s²)
Body is dropped from height 75m with initial velocity (upward) 10m/s
So, s = ut + ½ at²
-75 = 10t - ½ gt²
5t² - 10t - 75 = 0
By solving t = 5 sec.
In 5sec. balloon covered
h = 10 * 5 = 50m
Now height of balloon = 75 + 50 = 125m
