A man in a balloon rising vertically with an acceleration of 5ms−2 releases a ball 2 second after the balloon is let go from the ground. The greatest height above the ground reached by the ball is :

Answer»

Height traveled by ball (with balloon) in 2 sec             

h1=1/2at2=1/2×5×22= 10 m

Velocity of the balloon after 2 sec

v = at = 5×2 = 10 m/s

Now if the ball is released from the balloon then it acquire same velocity in upward direction.

Let it move up to maximum height h2

v2=u2−2gh2 

=> 0=(10)2−2×(10)×h2

∴ h2 = 5m

Greatest height above the ground reached by the ball = h1+h= 10+5 = 15 m
