A SMALL ATMOSPHERIC SENSOR TIED TO A WEATHER BALLOON ASCENDED INTO THE SKY AT A CONSTANT RATE OF 8 M/S. AFTER 30 MINUTES OF FLIGHT THE BALLOON REACHES THE STRATOSPHERE AND THE SENSOR IS DETACHED FROM THE BALLOON AND STARTS TO FALL. DISREGARDING THE AIR RESISTANCE, WHAT WOULD BE THE FINAL VELOCITY OF THE SENSOR BEFORE IT HITS THE GROUND? 1 Add file
