As part of a circus performance, a man is attempting to throw a dart into an apple which is dropped from an overhead platform. Upon release of the apple, the man has a reflex delay of 245 milliseconds before throwing the dart. If the dart is released with a speed vo = 15 m/s, at what distance d below the platform should the man aim if the dart is to strike the apple before it hits the ground?
