The time it takes to go between windows is (V2 - V1)/g = 5.833 s
The average velocity during the interval is (V2 + V1)/2 = 32.42 m/s
The product of time and average speed is the distance between them. It must be a tall building!
Answer in units of m.
The average velocity during the interval is (V2 + V1)/2 = 32.42 m/s
The product of time and average speed is the distance between them. It must be a tall building!
1. Start by calculating the time it takes for the pot to fall to the boyfriend's position. We can use the formula:
t = (Vf - Vi) / a
Where:
- Vf is the final velocity of the pot (61 m/s),
- Vi is the initial velocity of the pot (3.84 m/s),
- a is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2).
Substituting the values, we get:
t = (61 m/s - 3.84 m/s) / 9.8 m/s^2
Calculate this value to find the time.
2. Once we have the time, we can calculate the distance between Judy and her boyfriend using the formula:
d = Vi * t
Where:
- Vi is the initial velocity of the pot (3.84 m/s),
- t is the time calculated in step 1.
Substitute the values and calculate to find the distance.
Following these steps, we can find the distance between the two friends.
