when balloon moves from rest with a constant acceleration 2 m/sec^2 for 1 sec. it travells 1 m upward and then stone dropped. At this time velocity of stone is 2 m/s upward. now Stone is moving under gravity. stone takes 1.93 sec. to strike the ground.

for balloon,
initial velocity of balloon=0  so,u=o
                                                 a=2m/s2
                                                  t=1s
v=u+at                
v=2m/s  (as u=0m/s ,a=2m/s2,t=1s)
s=ut+1/2at2      
s=1m     (as u=0m/s ,a=2m/s2,t=1s)
for stone,
u=-2m/s ,s=1m,a=9.8m/s2
at2+2ut-2s=0
9.8t2-4t-2=0
t=.7s

The balloon starts to rise vertically upward with an acceleration of 2m/s^{2}
After one second (First Case)
Therefore in this case; u = 0 ; t =1; a=2
The distance traveled in this case by the formula s=ut+ \frac{1}{2}at^{2}
∴ s = 1m
Case Two:-
From there a stone was dropped...
Therefore the stone was falling under the effect of gravity
Therefore in this case; u=0;s=1;a=9.8
The time can be calculated in this case by the formula s=ut+ \frac{1}{2}at^{2}
∴ t ≈ 0.45s
