Suppose that a passenger intent on lunch during his first ride in a hot-air balloon accidently drops an apple over the side during the balloon’s liftoff. At the moment of the apple’s release, the balloon is accelerating upward with a magnitude of 4.0 m/s2 and has an upward velocity of magnitude 2 m/s. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the apple just after it is released?

The magnitude of the acceleration of the apple just after it is released would be 9.8 m/sec^2. The reason being that gravity would be the only force acting on the apple and the acceleration of the balloon would be totally unimportant. I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your help.
