Answer:

5.25 m/s to the east

Explanation:

Applying,

MV = mv.............. Equation 1

Where M = mass of the launcher, V = recoil velocity of the launcher, m = mass of the balloon, v = velocity of the balloon

make V the subject of the equation

V = mv/M............ Equation 2

From the question,

M = 2 kg, m = 0.75 kg, v = 14 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 2

V = (0.75×14)/2

V = 5.25 m/s to the east
