A stone falls from a balloon that is descending at a uniform rate of 12 m/s. The magnitude of the displacement of the stone from the point of release after 10 sec is
610 m
u = -12m/s, g = - 9.8 m/sec2, t = 10sec
Displacement = ut+12gt2
= −12×10+12×−9.8×100=−610m (since downwards)
The magnitude is 610m.
