What is the correct equation to use to solve this question? Would the balloon hit the ground before or after 1.0 s of falling? (HINT - use scrap paper to solve this before answering) (2 points) Responses The correct equation is #2. It would not hit the ground before 1 second. The correct equation is #2. It would not hit the ground before 1 second. The correct equation is #1. It would not hit the ground before 1 second. The correct equation is #1. It would not hit the ground before 1 second. The correct equation is #1. It would hit the ground before 1 second. The correct equation is #1. It would hit the ground before 1 second. The correct equation is #2. It would hit the ground before 1 second.
The correct equation to use is the kinematic equation:
h = 0.5 * g * t^2
where:
h = height
g = acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s^2)
t = time
To determine if the balloon will hit the ground before or after 1.0 s of falling, we need to calculate the height of the balloon after 1.0 s.
Let's say the initial height of the balloon is 0 m.
h = 0.5 * 9.81 * (1.0)^2
h = 4.905 m
Since the height after 1.0 s is 4.905 m and the initial height is 0 m, the balloon will hit the ground before 1.0 s of falling.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
- The correct equation is #1. It would hit the ground before 1 second.
