- You decide to play a trick on your friend using a giant water balloon as shown in the figure below.The balloon is dropped (no initial velocity) from a height of 43.24 meters. At the exact moment you drop the balloon your friend throws a rock straight up to strike and burst the balloon before it lands. We will take the rock to be thrown with an initial velocity of 108 km/hr from an initial height of zero.Convert the rock's initial velocity into proper units. v0(rock) = meters/secondWrite an equation for the y of the balloon at any time. yballoon(t) = Write an equation for the y of the rock at any time. yrock(t) = Determine the time at which the rock and balloon collide. tcollision = seconds.arrow_forwarda snake crawls from a hole to find food. it starts at 8m southwest; then goes 10m 40 degrees north of west; then sensed something moving 9m south from where it is and moves to it. a. how far and in what direction was the moving object from the hole? b. if after realizing that the moving object was not good for food, the snake moved from it because it saw another moving thing, moved to its direction by covering a fourth displacement and is now 20m and 30 degrees east of south from the hole. what is the magnitude and direction of the fourth displacement?arrow_forwardCalculate the resultant of the frame below.
