A stone is dropped from a balloon 3 seconds after it started rising at a constant velocity of 20 m/s at elevation 350m from the ground. Two seconds later, another stone is thrown vertically upward from the ground with a velocity of 90 m/s. Determine: a) Time elapsed when the stones will pass each other. (indicate reference of time) b) Location of the stones when they meet. c) Time elapsed for the second stone until it hits the ground. d) The highest point for the stone from the ground will reach.

Question
A stone is dropped from a balloon 3 seconds after it started rising at a constant velocity
of 20 m/s at elevation 350m from the ground. Two seconds later, another stone is
thrown vertically upward from the ground with a velocity of 90 m/s.
Determine:
a) Time elapsed when the stones will pass each other. (indicate
reference of time)
b) Location of the stones when they meet.
c) Time elapsed for the second stone until it hits the ground.
d) The highest point for the stone from the ground will reach.
