Physics

A hot-air balloon is drifting in level flight due east at 2.9m/s due to a light wind. The pilot suddenly notices that theballoon must gain 26 m of altitude in order to clear the top of ahill 120 m to the east.

GIVENS:

How much time does the pilot have to make the altitude changewithout crashing into the hill? = 41s

What minimum, constant, upward acceleration is needed in orderto clear the hill? = 3.0*10^-2m/s^2

What is the horizontal component of the balloon’s velocity atthe instant that it clears the top of the hill? = 2.9m/s
