A balloon is moving vertically upward with constant acceleration
in upward direction particle 'A' was dropped from the balloon and 2 sec . later another particle 'B' was dropped from the same balloon. Assume that motion of the balloon remains unaffected. Find the separation distance between 'A' and 'B', 6 sec after dropping the particle 'B' None of the particles reaches the ground during the time interval under consideration (
)
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsB
Since particles are being dropped from a moving body i.e., a moving reference frame, we used reference frame of balloon itself for both the particles.
Motions of particles 'A' and 'B' are w.r.t. balloon, so . balloon is reference point therefore it is assumed to be at rest.
We denote balloon by b
For 



(A falls off 8 sec)

For 



Separation distance between 'A' and 'B'
