A sandbag is dropped from a balloon which is ascending vertically at a constant speed of 6 m/s. If the bag is released with the same upward velocity of 6 m/s when t = 0 s and hits the ground when t = 8 s, determine the speed of the bag as it hits the ground and the altitude of the balloon at this instant.

A hot-air balloon is rising upward with a constant speed of 2.55 m/s. When the balloon is 2.91 m above the ground, the balloonist accidentally drops a compass over the side of the balloon. How much time elapses before the compass hits the ground?
A toy rocket is launched vertically from ground level at time t = 0.00 s. The rocket engine provides constant upward acceleration during the burn phase. At the instant of engine burnout, the rocket has risen to 82 m and acquired an upward velocity of 90 m/s The rocket continues to rise with insignificant air resistance in unpowered flight, reaches maximum height, and falls back to the ground. The upward acceleration of the rocket during the burn phase is closest to 49 m/s2. 43 m/s2. 46 m/s2. 48 m/s2. 45 m/s2.
In projectile motion, the total flight time is _______. A) equal to the time required to reach the maximum height B) thrice the time required to reach the maximum height C) four times the time required to reach the maximum height D) twice the time required to reach the maximum height

A helicopter is ascending vertically with a speed of 5.79 m/s. At a height of 141 m above the earth, a package is dropped from the helicopter. How much time does it take for the package to reach the ground?
A group of students celebrate their first year of medical school with a hot-air balloon ride, which is rising upward with a constant speed of 3.0 m/s. When the balloon is 3.50 m above the ground, one of the students who is taking a selfie with the other students accidentally drops her smart phone over the side of the balloon (fortunately with a OtterBox case). With what speed would the phone hit the ground in m/s? Note that the displacement of the phone dropping 3.50 m would be - 3.50 m. For the same situation as Question 9, how long in seconds would the smart phone be in the air before it hits the ground?
