A hot air balloon has just lifted off and is rising at the constant rate of 2.2 m/s. Suddenly, one of the passengers realizes she has left her camera on the ground. Her friend throws it to her straight up at and initial speed of 10 m/s if the passenger is 2.5 m above the friend when the camera is tossed, how high is she when the camera reaches her on its way up?

Solution Summary
The solution calculates the height at which the camera reaches a passenger on its way up.
Solution Preview
Let the ground be the origin
Let distances above the ground be indicated by x
Let t=0 be the time when her friend throws her the camera
Equation for the hot air balloon:
x=x0+ut+1/2 a t ^2
x=2.5+2.2 t (x0=2.5 since it is 2.5 meters high when t=0 i.e. when the camera is thrown up, and is ...
