A squirrel sees a BIG acorn being thrown from a tree by a chipmunk and attempts to snatch it. The acorn is thrown from a 10.0 m high branch and with a horizontal velocity of 1.1 m/s. The squirrel on the ground is 5.0 m from the base of the tree. What is the of the squirrel’s average velocity if it grabs the acorn in its mouth just as it touches the ground?

it takes about √2 sec for the acorn to reach the ground
the direction the acorn is thrown, relative to the squirrel's position is a big factor
... the question is a little vague

h = 0.5g*t^2 = 10m.
4.9t^2 = 10,
t = 1.43s. = Fall time.
d = V*T = 1.1 * 1.43 = 1.57m from base of tree.
d = V*t = 5-1.57 = 3.43m.
V*1.43 = 3.43,
V = 2.40 m/s.
