Ahot-air balloonist, rising vertically with a constant speed of 5.00 m/s releases a sandbag at the instant the balloon is 40.0 m above the ground. after it is released, the sandbag encounters no appreciable air drag. compute the velocity of the sandbag at 0.250 s after its release.

 ↑   upwards

Explanation:

Take the direction up (where the hot-air balloonist moves) as the positive direction, and take the direction down (contrary to the direction of the hot-air balloonist) as the negative direction.

Then we propose the kinematic equation for the speed of the sandbag:

.

Where

is the initial velocity of the sandbag

a is the acceleration of the sandbag

t is the time in seconds.

In this case

a is the gravitational acceleration of

Now we substitute these values into the formula and solve for

the earths atmosphere is made up of nitrogen and oxygen. solids can turn into gasses through a process called sublimation. sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase, without passing through the intermediate liquid phase.
