Expert's answer

A balloon starts rising from ground with an acceleration of 1.25m/s21.25\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{\wedge}2 . After 8sec a body is released from it. What is the time taken by the body to reach the ground?

Solution.


An equation of motion of a balloon:


h=at122.h = \frac {a t _ {1} ^ {2}}{2}.


The speed of the balloon at the height hh :


v=at1.v = a t _ {1}.


A body has the same speed v=at1v = at_{1} as a balloon.



An equation of motion of a body:


0=h+vt2gt222;0 = h + v t _ {2} - \frac {g t _ {2} ^ {2}}{2};0=at122+at1t2gt222;0 = \frac {a t _ {1} ^ {2}}{2} + a t _ {1} t _ {2} - \frac {g t _ {2} ^ {2}}{2};0=at12g+2at1gt2t22.0 = \frac {a t _ {1} ^ {2}}{g} + \frac {2 a t _ {1}}{g} t _ {2} - t _ {2} ^ {2}.

t2t_2 - the time taken by the body to reach the ground.

There is a quadratic equation, where t2t_2 represents an unknown:


t222at1gt2at12g=0;t _ {2} ^ {2} - \frac {2 a t _ {1}}{g} t _ {2} - \frac {a t _ {1} ^ {2}}{g} = 0;


A discriminant is:


Δ=(2at1g)24(at12g)=4a2t12g2+4at12g=4at12g(ag+1).\Delta = \left(\frac {2 a t _ {1}}{g}\right) ^ {2} - 4 \cdot \left(- \frac {a t _ {1} ^ {2}}{g}\right) = \frac {4 a ^ {2} t _ {1} ^ {2}}{g ^ {2}} + \frac {4 a t _ {1} ^ {2}}{g} = \frac {4 a t _ {1} ^ {2}}{g} \left(\frac {a}{g} + 1\right).t2=2at1g+Δ2=2at1g+4at12g(ag+1)2=2at1g+2t1ag(ag+1)2=at1g+t1ag(ag+1).t _ {2} ^ {\prime} = \frac {\frac {2 a t _ {1}}{g} + \sqrt {\Delta}}{2} = \frac {\frac {2 a t _ {1}}{g} + \sqrt {\frac {4 a t _ {1} ^ {2}}{g} \left(\frac {a}{g} + 1\right)}}{2} = \frac {\frac {2 a t _ {1}}{g} + 2 t _ {1} \sqrt {\frac {a}{g} \left(\frac {a}{g} + 1\right)}}{2} = \frac {a t _ {1}}{g} + t _ {1} \sqrt {\frac {a}{g} \left(\frac {a}{g} + 1\right)}.t2=1.2589.8+81.259.8(1.259.8+1)=4.05(s).t _ {2} ^ {\prime} = \frac {1 . 2 5 \cdot 8}{9 . 8} + 8 \sqrt {\frac {1 . 2 5}{9 . 8} \left(\frac {1 . 2 5}{9 . 8} + 1\right)} = 4. 0 5 (s).t2=2at1gΔ2=2at1g4at12g(ag+1)2=2at1g2t1ag(ag+1)2=at1gt1ag(ag+1).t _ {2} ^ {\prime \prime} = \frac {\frac {2 a t _ {1}}{g} - \sqrt {\Delta}}{2} = \frac {\frac {2 a t _ {1}}{g} - \sqrt {\frac {4 a t _ {1} ^ {2}}{g} \left(\frac {a}{g} + 1\right)}}{2} = \frac {\frac {2 a t _ {1}}{g} - 2 t _ {1} \sqrt {\frac {a}{g} \left(\frac {a}{g} + 1\right)}}{2} = \frac {a t _ {1}}{g} - t _ {1} \sqrt {\frac {a}{g} \left(\frac {a}{g} + 1\right)}.t2=1.2589.881.259.8(1.259.8+1)=2.01(s).t _ {2} ^ {\prime} = \frac {1 . 2 5 \cdot 8}{9 . 8} - 8 \sqrt {\frac {1 . 2 5}{9 . 8} \left(\frac {1 . 2 5}{9 . 8} + 1\right)} = - 2. 0 1 (s).


The time cannot be negative, then t2=t2=4.05st_2 = t_2' = 4.05s.

**Answer:** The time taken by the body to reach the ground is t2=4.05st_2 = 4.05s.
