Homework Statement
A balloon takes 0.22s to cross a 1.3m high window. From what height above was it dropped?
Homework Equations
None.
Kinematics motion is a branch of physics that studies the motion of objects without considering the forces that caused the motion.
A falling balloon refers to a balloon that is descending due to the force of gravity. This can happen if the balloon is released from a higher altitude or if the gas inside the balloon is less dense than the surrounding air.
The motion of a falling balloon follows the laws of kinematics because it is a type of motion that can be described using the concepts of distance, time, velocity, and acceleration. These quantities can be measured and analyzed to understand the motion of the balloon.
The mass of the balloon does not have a significant effect on its falling motion because the force of gravity acts on all objects equally regardless of their mass. However, the mass of the balloon can affect its initial velocity and acceleration due to air resistance.
Yes, the motion of a falling balloon can be predicted using kinematics equations such as the equations for displacement, velocity, and acceleration. These equations can be used to calculate the position, speed, and acceleration of the balloon at any given time during its fall.
