1.

A balloon starts rising from the ground with an acceleration of 1.25 m/s 2. After 8 s, a stone is released from the balloon. The stone will(a) cover a distance of 40 m (b) have a displacement of 50 m (c) reach the ground in 4 s (d) begin to move down after being released

Answer»

Correct answer is: (c) reach the ground in 4 s

At the instant of release, the balloon is 40 m above the ground and has an upward velocity of 10 m/s. For the motion of the stone from the balloon to the ground, u = 10 m/s, s = -40 m, a = -10 m/s 2(g).
