Rectilinear Motion: Sandbag Released from an Ascending Balloon

Physics · Physics — Grade 11

Question

A sandbag is dropped from a balloon that is ascending vertically at a constant speed of 6 m/s. The bag is released with the same upward velocity of 6 m/s at $t = 0$ and hits the ground at $t = 8$ s. Determine: 1. The speed of the bag as it hits the ground. 2. The altitude of the balloon at $t = 8$ s.
