Manipal MET2012PhysicsMotion in One Dimension
A balloon is rising vertically up with a velocity of 29 ~ms ⁻¹ . A stone is dropped from it and it reaches the ground in 10 s . The height of the balloon when the stone was dropped from it is ( g =9.8 ~ms ⁻¹ . )
Options
- A400 m
- B150 m
- C100 m
- D200 m
Correct answer
D. 200 m
Step-by-step solution
For a stone which is thrown downwards from a balloon rising upwards, the equation of motion is aligned h & =-u t+ 1 2 g t^2 & =-29 10+ 1 2 9.8 (10)^2 & =-290+490 & =200 ~m aligned
