Question

A hot-air balloonist, rising
vertically with a constant
velocity of magnitude 5.00 m/s
releases a sandbag at an instant
when the balloon is 40.0 m above
the ground (Figure shown to the right). After it is
released, the sandbag is in free fall.
(a) Compute the position and
velocity of the sandbag
(b) at 0.250 s
and 1.00 s after its release.

v = 5.00 m/s
40.0 m to ground
Transcribed Image Text:v = 5.00 m/s 40.0 m to ground
