The discussion revolves around the initial velocity of a stone released from a balloon that is moving upwards with a constant velocity. Participants explore the implications of the stone's initial velocity at the moment of release and the differences compared to a stationary balloon scenario.
Participants express differing views on the relationship between the stone's initial velocity and the balloon's velocity, indicating that multiple competing interpretations remain unresolved.
There are unresolved assumptions regarding the definitions of velocity at the moment of release and the conditions under which the stone is released from the balloon.

What i thought is that the instant stone is released which goes upwards with balloon, stone which is going upwards would stop (t=0) velocity (u=0).
No, not opposite sign. Same sign.manimaran1605 said:A stone released from balloon moving upwards with some constant velocity, the initial velocity of stone is same as the velocity of balloon with opposite sign, but how?
You're free to think whatever you want. That doesn't make it right.What i thought is that the instant stone is released which goes upwards with balloon, stone which is going upwards would stop (t=0) velocity (u=0).
