A 124-kg balloon carrying a 22-kg basket is descending with a constant downward velocity of A 1.0-kg stone is thrown from the basket with an initial velocity of perpendicular to the path of the descending balloon, as measured relative to a person at rest in the basket. The person in the basket sees the stone hit the ground 6.00 s after being thrown. Assume that the balloon continues its downward descent with the same constant speed of
