Best Answer: A tethered hot air balloon flight will typically be between 50-75 feet. It's high enough for the passengers to get a feel for the height and manageable enough for rope length. I have heard of some gas ride balloons that are on a winch go higher. To tell you the truth, I can't recall the max height for tethering. It wouldn't be different than for gas balloons.
Q: 1  A hotair balloonist, rising vertically with a constant speed of 5.00 , releases a sandbag at the instant the balloon is 40.0 above the ground. 2  A hot-air balloonist, rising vertically with a constant velocity of magnitude = 5.00m/s , releases a sandbag at an instant when the balloon is a height = 40.0m above the ground (Figure 1) . After it is released, the sandbag is in free fall.
