The balloon rose to a height of 800 m, and then was blown away by the wind in a horizontal direction

The balloon rose to a height of 800 m, and then was blown away by the wind in a horizontal direction at a distance of 600 m. Find the path traversed by the ball and the modulus of the displacement vector.

To find the path of a given balloon and its movement, we will use the formulas: S = Sп + Sгн and L = √ (Sп ^ 2 + Sгн ^ 2).

Variable values: Sп – lifting height (Sп = 800 m); Sгн – displacement in the horizontal direction (Sгн = 600 m).

Calculation: a) The path of the balloon: S = Sп + Sгн = 800 + 600 = 1400 m.

b) Moving the balloon: L = √ (Sп ^ 2 + Sгн ^ 2) = √ (800 ^ 2 + 600 ^ 2) = 1000 m.

Answer: The given balloon traveled 1400 m and moved 1000 m.
