A tourist takes a trip in a hot air balloon. The hot air balloon is
ascending at a velocity of 4 ms1. He accidentally drops his camera
over the side of the balloons basket; at a height of 20 m. Calculate
the velocity with which the camera hits the ground.
11. Show that the magnitude of the resultant of two vectors A and B is
12. Write down any two differences between distance and displacement. 2
13. A car, travelling at constant velocity, passes a stationary motor cycle.
at a traffic light. As the car overtakes the motorcycle, the motorcycle
accelerates uniformly from rest for 10 s. The following displacementtime graph represents the motions of both vehicles from the traffic
light onwards.

(a) Use the graph to find the magnitude of the constant velocity of
the car.
(b) Use the information from the graph to find the magnitude of
acceleration of the motorcycle for the first 10 seconds of its motion.
(c) Calculate how long it will take the motorcycle to catch up with the
car (point X on the time axis).
