A hot air balloon starts at its launching station and it goes at a horizontal speed of 2.7 m/s and a vertical wind of 1.1 m/s. Once it reaches an altitude of 202 m, it stays at that altitude for 10.3 s, which is when it drops a sandbag. How far will the sandbag land from the launching station?

To find the distance the sandbag will land from the launching station, we need to calculate the horizontal displacement of the hot air balloon during the 10.3 seconds that the sandbag remains at an altitude of 202 m.

The horizontal speed of the hot air balloon is given as 2.7 m/s. Since it remains constant, we can use the formula:

Distance = Speed × Time

Using this formula, we can calculate the horizontal displacement of the hot air balloon:

Horizontal displacement = (2.7 m/s) × (10.3 s)

Horizontal displacement = 27.81 meters

Therefore, the sandbag will land approximately 27.81 meters away from the launching station.
