Awater balloon was dropped from a high window and struck its target 1.1 seconds later. if the balloon left the persons hand at -5.0 m/s, what was the velocity on impact?

The acceleration of gravity on Earth is 9.8 meters per second every second.  So 
in 1.1 second of falling, an object gains (9.8 x 1.1) = 10.78 meters per second of 
downward speed.

The balloon was already falling at 5 m/sec when the time began, and it gained
another 10.78 m/sec on the way.  So at the end of 1.1 second, its downward
speed was (5.0 + 10.78) = 15.78 m/sec.

Its velocity was 15.78 m/sec downward.  

“other instruments such as gravimeters and magnetometers are also used in the search for petroleum. extracting crude oil normally starts with drilling wells into an underground reservoir. when an oil well has been tapped, a geologist (known on the rig as the "mudlogger") will note its presence. “ this is what i found on google i hope it
