A hot-air balloon is rising straight up with a speed of 5.2 m/s. A ballast bag is released from rest relative to the balloon when it is 13.6 m above the ground. How much time elapses before the ballast bag hits the ground?

At one instant a bicyclist is 40.0 m due east of a park s flagpole, going due south with a speed of 10.0 m/s. Then 30.0 s later, the cyclist is 40.0 m due north of the flagpole, going due east with a speed of 10.0 m/s. For the cyclist in this 30.0 s interval, what are the (a) magnitude and...

Vector vector A has a magnitude of 7.90 units and makes an angle of 40.0 counter-clockwise from the positive x-axis. Vector vector B has a magnitude of 8.00 units and is directed along the negative x-axis. Direction of vector A + vector B : 2Your answer was incorrect, but has changed from...

Heather and Jerry are standing on a bridge above a river. Heather throws a rock straight down with a speed of . Jerry, at exactly the same instant of time, throws a rock straight up with the same speed. Ignore air resistance.

Problem 5. D m x F = Fo e x/D A simple schematic for a paintball gun with a barrel of length D is shown above; when the trigger is pulled carbon dioxide gas under pressure is released into the approximately frictionless barrel behind the paintball (which has mass m). The expanding,...

Three equal point charges, each with charge 1.65 , are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle whose sides are of length 0.300 . What is the electric potential energy of the system? (Take as zero the potential energy of the three charges when they are infinitely far apart.) Use =...

A dock worker applies a constant horizontal force of 80.5 to a block of ice on a smooth horizontal floor. The frictional force is negligible. The block starts from rest and moves 10.0 in the first 6.00 .

A 315-N force F and 70-Nm couple M are applied to corner A of the block shown. Replace the given force-couple system with an equivalent force-couple system at corner D.

A superhero flies 160 m from the top of a tall building at an angle of 35 below the horizontal. What is the horizontal component of the superhero s displacement? Answer in units of m.

A typical red blood cell subtends an angle of only 1.92 x 10^-5 rad when viewed at a person's near-point distance of 25.0 cm. Suppose a red blood cell is examined with a compound microscope in which the objective and eyepiece are separated by a distance of 10.0 cm. Given that the focal...
