Homework Statement
hot air balloon traveling vertically upward at 2.2 m/s. at 25 m above ground, releases a package. Solve for t.
Homework Equations
d=v(initial)t + 0.5(a)t2
The Attempt at a Solution
25m = [0.0 m/s(t)] + ½(9.8m/s2)t2
25/4.9 = t2
t=2.26 seconds
My question is, does the upward movement of the balloon impact the time that the package is in the air? If so, would it be:
25 = -2.2t +0.5(9.8)t2
t= 2.49 seconds
