Problem 4. A man jumped from a stationary balloon at an elevation of 1524m above the ground. He waited 10sec and then pulled his parachute cord. The parachute decelerated him at an average rate 6.1 m/sec until a velocity of 6.71 m/sec was reached. He then descended to the ground at a constant velocity of 6.71 msec. How long did it take the man o descend to the ground.

The acceleration of a particle is given by a 4t - 37, where a is in meters per second squared and tis in seconds. Determine the velocity and displacement as functions of time. The initial displacement at t = O is so = 9 m, and the initial velocity is vo = 0 m/s. After you have the general expressions, evaluate these expressions at the indicated times. Answers: m, v m/s Att- 2.9s. m. v- m/s Att 10.6 s, S-

You decide to drop a water balloon on a friend as a horribly inconsiderate prank that they shall never forgive you for. You climb onto an overpass near their favorite bike trail and release the balloon from rest some 7.7 m above the ground. If your friend is riding their bike at 11.4 m/s, how far out must they be from the overpass when you drop it? Assume your result is in m. DO NOT include units with your numerical answer.
NASA has fired a rocket straight up into the air from ground level with an unknown initial velocity. It reaches a maximum height of 164,000 feet. This happened in Cape Canaveral therefore the rocket is under the acceleration of Earth's gavity in which we all know is -32 ft/sec/sec. Please round your answers to two decimal places. a). Find the time it takes for the rocket to reach maximum height. b). find the initial velocity necessary to reach that height.
