A man in a balloon throws a stone downwards


Asked by admin @ in Physics viewed by 266 People


A man in a balloon, throws a stone downwards with a speed of 5m/s with respect to the balloon. The balloon is moving upwards with a constant acceleration of 5m/s 2 . Then what is the velocity of the stone relative to the man after 2 seconds?

Answered by admin @



The data given in the question is not sufficient to solve the problem.

We need to know the upwards velocity of the balloon at the moment the stone is thrown out which is not given. So one needs to assume this value.

So under the circumstances the answer worked out by Rishav Himanshu, which assumes that the velocity of the balloon when the stone is thrown out is zero, is correct.
