Question #2 Report Error
If a stone is dropped from a balloon rising upwards with a velocity of 10 m/s at a height of 75 m, what is the initial velocity of the stone relative to the ground?
A. 10 m/s downwards
B. 10 m/s upwards
C. 9.8 m/s downwards
D. 0 m/s

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Due to the inertia of motion, when an object is dropped from a moving vehicle (or balloon), it inherits the instantaneous velocity of that vehicle. Since the balloon was moving upwards at 10 m/s, the stone's initial velocity relative to the ground is 10 m/s upwards. It will rise slightly before falling.
