A balloon rises from the ground with a constant acceleration of 4ft per sec^2. Five seconds later, a stone is thrown vertically up from the launching site. What must be the minimum initial velocity of the stone for it to just touch the balloon? Note that the balloon and stone have the same velocity at contact.
