5. Projectile Motion / Positive (Upward) Launch / Problem 14

A water balloon is released from a stationary hot air balloon that is 100 meters above the ground as shown below. The water balloon is released with an initial velocity of 15.0 m/s at an angle of 30.0° from the horizontal. Calculate the magnitude of the velocity of the water balloon at the instant it lands.
