A hot-air balloon is drifting in level flight due east at 2.9 m/s due to a light wind. The pilot suddenly notices that the balloon must gain 20 m of altitude in order to clear the top of a hill 100 m to the east. Required:
a. How much time does the pilot have to make the altitude change without crashing into the hill?
b. What minimum, constant, upward acceleration is needed in order to clear the hill?
c. What is the horizontal component of the balloon’s velocity at the instant that it clears the top of the hill?
d. What is the vertical component of the balloon’s velocity at the instant that it clears the top of the hill?

An charge with mass m and charge q is emitted from the origin, (x, y)=(0,0). a large, flat screen is located at x=l. there is a target on the screen at y position y(h), where y(h) > 0. in this problem, you will examine two different ways that the charge might hit the target. ignore gravity in this problem. 1.assume that the charge is emitted with velocity v(0) in the positive x direction. between the origin and the screen, the charge travels through a constant electric field pointing in the positive y direction. what should the magnitude e of the electric field be if the charge is to hit the target on the screen? express your answer in terms of m, q, y(h), v(0), and l. 2.now assume that the charge is emitted with velocity v(0) in the positive y direction. between the origin and the screen, the charge travels through a constant electric field pointing in the positive x direction. what should the magnitude e of the electric field be if the charge is to hit the target on the screen? express your answer in terms of m, q, y(h), v(0), and l.
