Question

A hot air balloon is moving vertically upwards at a constant rate of 9.0 m/s. As the balloon rises, a package is dropped from the balloon and it takes 5 s to hit the ground. How far did the package fall?

 

Make sure to include a diagram of the physical situation, label know and unknown quantities with units, coordinate system.

Please use grade 12 kinematics and label the variables as v1, v2, a (Acceleration), t (time), d (displacement)

Thanks!

Expert Solution
Step 1

We have been given that the balloon is moving at 9.0 m/s in the positive z-direction. It drops a package from height d and it takes 5s for the package to fall to the ground, since the package is dropped from the balloon, it has an initial speed of +9.0 m/s.
