A hot air balloon rises from the ground with a velocity of (2.00m/s)y. A stone is expelled horizontally with a velocity of (5.00m/s)x relative to the balloon when expelled, the stone is seen by an observer on the ground. (a) What is the initial velocity of the stone as x and y unit vectors? (b) What are the speed of the stone and its initial direction of motion as seen by the same observer. (c) Determine the maximum height above the ground attained by the stone. (d) For what amount of time does the stone remain in the air?
