A packet is dropped from a balloon which is going upwards with the velocity 12 m/s12 \text{ m/s}, the velocity of the packet after 2 seconds2 \text{ seconds} will be:

A

–12 m/s

B

12 m/s

C

–7.6 m/s

D

7.6 m/s

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Identify Initial Conditions: When an object is dropped from a moving body (like a balloon), it inherits the velocity of that body at the instant of release.
  • Initial velocity of the packet, u=+12 m/su = +12 \text{ m/s} (taking upward direction as positive).
  1. Identify Acceleration: The packet is under the influence of gravity.
  • Acceleration, a=g=9.8 m/s2a = -g = -9.8 \text{ m/s}^2 (acting downwards).
  1. Apply Kinematic Equation: To find the final velocity (vv) after time t=2 st = 2 \text{ s}, use the first equation of motion: v=u+atv = u + at v=12+(9.8)(2)v = 12 + (-9.8)(2) v=1219.6v = 12 - 19.6 v=7.6 m/sv = -7.6 \text{ m/s} The negative sign indicates that the packet is moving downwards with a speed of 7.6 m/s7.6 \text{ m/s} .
