Question
This is a multiple choice question:
You toss a (wrapped) sandwich to a friend leaning out of a window 10 m above you, throwing just hard enough for it to reach her. At the same instant, she drops a silver dollar to you.At what position do the dollar and the sandwich pass each other?
A.More than 5 m above you.
B.Less than 5 m above you.
C.5 m above you.
I don't understand how I have enough information to answer this question, wouldn't it depend on the starting velocity with which you threw the sandwich?

think about it.
the dropped coin reaches you with exactly the same velocity as you threw the sandwich.
