The three constant acceleration equations are:
v(t) = v0 + at
x(t) = x0 + v0t +12
at2
v2 = v20 + 2a(x− x0)
where t1 = 0, t2 = t, x1 = x0 and x2 = x.

Lecture Question 3.4An explorer accidentally drops a wrench over the side of her
hot air balloon as it rises from the ground. The balloon’s
upward acceleration is +4 m/s2 with a a velocity of +2 m/s.
Just after the wrench is released,
(a) its acceleration is -5.4 m/s2, its velocity is +2 m/s.
(b) its acceleration is -5.4 m/s2, its velocity is 0 m/s.
(c) its acceleration is -9.8 m/s2, its velocity is +2 m/s.
(d) its acceleration is +5.4 m/s2, its velocity is 0 m/s.
(e) its acceleration is 5.4 m/s2, its velocity is -2 m/s.
