A hot-air ballonist rising vertically with a constant


A hot-air ballonist rising vertically with a constant velocityof 5.00 m/s releases a sandbag at an instant when the balloon is40m above the ground. After it is released the sandbag is in freefall.

a) Compute the position and velocity of the sandbag at 0.25sand 1.00s after its release.

b) How many seconds after its release will the bag strike theground?

c) With what magnitude of velocity does it strike?

d) What is the greatest height above the ground that thesandbag reaches?

e) Sketch an (ay-t) (vy-t) and (y-t)graphs for the motion.
