Question
A hot air balloon ascends with a velocity V=2.00 m/s. The instant the balloon is found at an y=12.0m height, the balloon passenger throws an object horizontally with a velocity Vox= 20.0 m/s. Determine the horizontal distance traveled by the object from the from the throwing point to the moment it reaches the ground.

how long does it take to fall?
12 + 2t - 4.9t^2 = 0
Now, using that t, and knowing that the horizontal speed is constant
distance = speed * time = 20t
12 + 2t - 4.9t^2 = 0
Now, using that t, and knowing that the horizontal speed is constant
distance = speed * time = 20t
