Mike and his friends are in Clark, Pampanga to celebrate the Hot Air Balloon Festival. They ride in a balloon that is descending with a constant vertically downward velocity of 4.00 m/s. During the ride, Mike throws a bouncy ball with a horizontal velocity of 2.50 m/s relative to himself. He sees the ball hit the ground 2.00 seconds after being thrown. Air resistance could be neglected.
