You are trying to find out how high you have to pitch a water balloon in order for it to burst when it hits the ground. you discover that the balloon bursts when you have pitched it to a height of 12 m. with what velocity did the balloon hit the ground? the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s

15.33623 m/s

Explanation:

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

The initial velocity by which the balloon should be thrown up is 15.33623 m/s

At the maximum height the initial velocity becomes 0

Hence, the balloon will hit the ground at 15.33623 m/s
