Some troublemaking kids are dropping water balloons from the roof of your apartment building. You are in your fifth-floor room and your window is 25 m above the sidewalk outside. You look outside and see that each balloon hits the pavement 1.5 s after passing your window. Express answers using 2 significant figures. a) How fast are the balloons traveling when they pass your window? b) Assuming the balloons are being released from rest, from what height above your window are they being released? c) If you threw a balloon upwards from your window with an initial speed of 6.5 m/s, would you be able to get it to the roof?
