A hot-air balloon is descending at a rate of 1.5 m/s when a passenger drops a camera.

part a) If the camera is 50 m above the ground when it is dropped, how much time does it take for the camera to reach the ground?

part b) If the camera is 50 m above the ground when it is dropped, what is its velocity just before it lands? Let upward be the positive direction for this problem.

Hot-Air Balloon A hot-air balloon of mass M is descending vertically with downward acceleration of magnitude a. How much mass (ballast) must be thrown out to give the balloon an upward acceleration of magnitude a (same magnitude but opposite direction)? Assume that the upward force from the air (the lift) does not change because of the decrease in mass. (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: g.)

A hot air balloon is rising straight up at a constant speed of 6.20 m/s. When the balloon is 12.0 m above the ground, a gun fires a pellet straight up from ground level with an initial speed of 28.9 m/s. Along the paths of the balloon and the pellet, there are two places where each of them has the same altitude at the same time. How far above the ground are these places? Enter the smaller altitude first.
