A hot air balloon competition requires a balloonist to drop a ribbon onto a target on the ground. Initially the hot air balloon is 50 meters above the ground and 100 meters from the target. The wind is blowing the balloon at v = 15 meters/sec on a course to travel directly over the target. The ribbon is heavy enough that any effects of the air slowing the vertical velocity of the ribbon are negligible. How long should the balloonist wait to drop the ribbon so that it will hit the target?

The answer is 3.48 seconds

Explanation:

The kinematic equation

y= y0+V0*t+1/2*a*(t*t)

-50=0+(0)t+1/2(-9.8)*(t*t)

t=3.194 seconds

During ribbons ball,

x=x0+ Vt+1/2*a*(t*t)

x= 0+(15)*(3.194)+1/2*(0)* (3.194*3.194)

x= 47.9157m

So, distance (D) = 100-47.9157= 52.084m

52.084m=0+15(t)+1/2*(0)(t*t)

t=52.084/15=3.472286= 3.48seconds

it's when something is going so fast it makes a loud noise, breaking the sound barrier, for example: a jet makes a loud noise, not only cause of the jet but because they reached a point where they went so fast that you can year the noise from various parts, kinda like a police car, lets say the car was going   so fast that you hear the siren of the cop car right next to you, but the car is probably a mile a way, it's cos the siren was next to you a few seconds if you understand me
