Answer:
The distance traveled by the balloon is 10.77 m
Explanation:
velocity of the ball, = 2 m/s south
velocity of the air, = 5 m/s west
To determine the distance the balloon will travel after 2 seconds, first determine the resultant velocity of the balloon.
| 2m/s

↓
5m/s ←------------------
the two velocities forms a right angled triangle and the resultant will be the hypotenuses side of the triangle.
R² = 5² + 2²
R² = 29
R = √29
R = 5.385 m/s
The distance traveled by the balloon is calculated as;
d = R x t
where;
t is time of the motion = 2 seconds
d = 5.385 x 2
d = 10.77 m
Therefore, the distance traveled by the balloon is 10.77 m.
