Given that,
Mass of a water balloon, m = 1 kg
It comes downward an experience a 4.9 N air resistance as it approaches the ground.
To find,
The acceleration of the water balloon when it experiences this air resistance.
Solution,
Let the acceleration be a.
The net force acting on it will be :
[tex]F_{net}=mg+F_r\\\\=1\times 10+(-4.9)\\\\=5.1\ N[/tex]
The force is also given by :
F = ma
[tex]a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{5.1}{1}\\\\=5.1\ m/s^2[/tex]
So, the acceleration of the water balloon is [tex]5.1\ m/s^2[/tex].
The acceleration of the balloon when it experiences the air resistance is 4.9 m/s².
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.
To calculate the acceleration of the ballon when it experiences the air resistance, we use the formula below.
