Answer:
y = 297.34 m
Explanation:
When coin is dropped from the balloon then due to inertia the initial speed of the coin will be same as the speed of the balloon
So here we have
[tex]v_i = 12.0 m/s[/tex]
initial height of the coin is
[tex]y_i = 290 m[/tex]
now at the maximum height final speed of the coin will be zero
so we will have
[tex]v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a (\Delta y)[/tex]
[tex]0 - 12^2 = 2(-9.81)(y - 290)[/tex]
[tex]7.34 + 290 = y[/tex]
[tex]y = 297.34 m[/tex]
