A simple pendulum is known to have a period, T = 1.55 s. Student A uses their smartphone stopwatch app to measure the total time for 5 oscillations and divides that by 5 to report an average period of T = 1.25 s. Student B uses the same technique but goes old school and whips out his grandpa’s analog stopwatch to come up with an average of T = 1.5 s. What is the most probable source of error that explains the different results?

Aballoon is rising vertically upwards at a velocity of 10m/s. when it is at a height of 45m from the ground, a parachute bails out from it. after 3s he opens his parachute and decelerates ata a constant rate 5m/s. when. (a) what was the height of the parachutist above the ground when he opened his parachute? (b)how far is the parachutist from the balloon at t=3s? (c)with what velocity does the parachutist hit the ground? (d)after how long does the parachutist hit the ground after his exist from the balloon?
