Problem 109GP

A hot-air balloon has just lifted off and is rising at the constant rate of 2.0 m/s. Suddenly one of the passengers realizes she has left her camera on the ground. A friend picks it up and tosses it straight upward with an initial speed of 13 m/s. If the passenger is 2.5 m above her friend when the camera is tossed, how high is she when the camera reaches her?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 5

Here we have to calculate the height at which the camera tossed from the ground reaches the person on the hot-air balloon.

The hot-air balloon is rising with constant speed , when the balloon reaches a height . The camera is tossed from the ground with initial speed straight upwards. The height at which the camera reaches the person on the balloon is .
