# A coin is dropped from a hot air-balloon that is \(250 \, \text{m}\) above the ground rising at \(11 \, \text{m/s}\) upwards. For the coin, assume up is positive and find the following:

A coin is dropped from a hot air-balloon that is \(250 \, \text{m}\) above the ground rising at \(11 \, \text{m/s}\) upwards. For the coin, assume up is positive and find the following:

**Part a)** The maximum height reached (in \(\text{meters}\)). *(1 points)*

**Part b)** The position, \(4.20 \, \text{seconds}\) after being released. *(2 points)*

**Part c)** The velocity \(4.20 \, \text{s}\) after being released. *(2 points)*

**Part d)** The time (in seconds) before it hits the ground *(2 points)*
