A criminal is escaping across a rooftop and run off the roof horizontally, the horizontal distance between the two buildings is 3.4m and roof of the adjacent building is 2m below the jumping off point. What would be the maximum speed needed by the criminal?

Answer 1

max speed? Easy Infinitity. I bet you mean minimum speed to make it.

how long does it take to fall 2 m?
h=1/2 g t^2
t= sqrt (2h/g)=sqrt(2*2/9.8) seconds
velocity horizontal=3.4m/timeabove
