- Answer the following question(s): A student sees her physical science professor approaching on the sidewalk that runs by her dorm. She gets a water balloon and waits. When the professor is 2.0s from being directly under the window about 11m from the sidewalk, she drops the balloon. Finish the story. Instructor Note: There are several ways to reach the correct answer. I generally solve for time to determine if balloon will hit the professor or not based on the given scenario.
