You are on the roof of the physics build...

You are on the roof of the physics building, `46.0 m` above the ground . Your physics professor, who is `1.80 m` tall, is walking alongside the building at a constant speed of `1.20 m s^(-1)`. If you wish to drop a flower on your professor`s head, where should the professor be when you release the flower? Assume that the flower is in free fall.
.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The time needed for the egg to fall is
`tsqrt((2Deltah)/(9)) =sqrt((2(46.0m-1.89 m))/((9.80 ms^(-2))))=3.00 s`
and so the professor should be at a distance
`v_(y)t=(1.20 ms^(-1))(3.00 s)=3.60 m`.

A man wishes to determine the height of a tall building . In the middle of the horizontal field next to the buliding, there is a sign post whose top measures to be 2.5 m above the ground. The man then backup from the post away from the building until the top of the post just lines up with the top of the building and marks the spot where his feet are. the man then measures the distances shown in the adjoining figure. if the eyes of a man standing on the ground are 1.4 m a bove the ground, find the height of the building.
