A projectile fired upward from the Earth's surface will usually slow down, come momentarily to rest, and return to Earth. For a certain initial speed, however it will move upward forever, with its speed gradually decreasing to zero just as its distance from Earth approaches infinity. The initial speed for this case is called escape velocity. You can find the escape velocity v for the Earth or any other planet from which a projectile might be launched using conservation of energy. The projectile of mass m leaves the surface of the body of mass M and radius R with a kinetic energy Ki = mv²/2 and potential energy Ui = -GMm/R. When the projectile reaches infinity, it has zero potential energy and zero kinetic energy since we are seeking the minimum speed for escape. Thus Uf = 0 and Kf = 0. And from conservation of energy,
Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf
mv²/2 -GMm/R = 0
∴ v = √(2GM/R)
This is the expression for escape velocity.
Answer:t=0.3253 s
Explanation:
Given
speed of balloon is 
speed of camera 
Initial separation between camera and balloon is 
Suppose after t sec of throw camera reach balloon then,
distance travel by balloon is


and distance travel by camera to reach balloon is


Now






There are two times when camera reaches the same level as balloon and the smaller time is associated with with the first one .
(b)When passenger catches the camera time is 
velocity is given by



and position of camera is same as of balloon so
Position is 

To convert 3 miles per hour into m/s, first we have to convert miles in to meter and then hour in to second.
As
and
Therefore,
