Homework Statement
Jane is riding in a hot air balloon that is rising vertically at a constant speed of
3m/s over a lake. She reaches out and drops a rock from the balloon when the
distance from the rock to the water is 50m. Use g=10m/s2, and let the up
direction be positive.
How long after Jane drops the rock will it splash into the water?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I know how to do this problem but I was wondering if the fact that Jane is traveling upwards has an effect on the free fall of the rock.
