Answer:

Velocity = 0.55 m/s

Direction  = South

Explanation:

Given

let us take the south as positive direction

Velocity of the balloon [tex]v_{b}[/tex] = + 0.87 m/s

Velocity of wind [tex]v_{w}[/tex] = - 0.32 m/s

Solution

Resultant velocity

[tex]v = v_{b} + v_{w} \\\\v = 0.87+(-0.32)\\\\v = 0.55 m/s[/tex]

since the resultant velocity is positive, balloon is directed southward
