Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / How far from the building should the professor be when you release the egg?
« on: 16/12/2021 15:14:57 »
I have been trying for a very long time to task this problem, but it does not work for me.
Can anyone help me?
You are on the roof of the physics building, 46.0 m above the ground. Your physics professor, who is 1.80 tall, is walking along side the building at a constant speed of 1.20 m/s. If you wish to drop an egg on your professor's head, how far from the building should the professor be when you release the egg? Assume that the egg is in free fall.Take the free fall acceleration to be 9.80 m/s2.
Thank you all very much for your answers! I also found on <link removed> a detailed description of the solution to this problem. I needed accurate calculations.
