A hot-air balloonist rising vertically with a constant


A hot-air balloonist, rising vertically with a constant velocity of magnitude = 5.00m/s , releases a sandbag at an instant when the balloon is a height = 40.0m above the ground (Figure 1) . After it is released, the sandbag is in free fall. For the questions that follow, take the origin of the coordinate system used for measuring displacements to be at the ground, and upward displacements to be positive.

A) How many seconds after its release will the bag strike the ground?

B) With what magnitude of velocity does it strike?

C) What is the greatest height above the ground that the sandbag reaches?
