Kinematics Question 661
Question: A balloon starts r it’sing from the surface of the earth. The ascension rate it’s constant and equal to . Due to the wind the balloon gathered the horizontal velocity component , where a is a constant and y it’s the height of ascent. The tangential, acceleration of the balloon it’s trough but
Options:
A) $ {{a^{2}}y/{{v _{0}} $
B) $ {{a^{2}}y/\sqrt{1+{{( \text{ay+}{{v _{0}} )}^{2}}} $
C) $ {{a^{2}}y/\sqrt{1+{{v _{0}}^{2}} $
D) $ {{a^{2}}v _{0}/\sqrt{1+{{( \text{2y+a} )}^{2}}} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
[b] Since velocity in vertical direction is constant,
The acceleration in horizontal direction,
The total acceleration is
Let
Normal acceleration
Differentiating both side of equation (iii) w.r.t. x,
We get
Now
