Why is the following situation possible?
Emily challenges her friend David to catch a $1 bill as follows. She holds the bill vertically as shown in figure P2.29 with the center of the bill between but not touching David's index finger and thumb. Without warning, Emily releases the bill. David catches the bill without moving his hands downwards. David reaction time is equal to the average human reaction time.
Avg human reaction time is .2s.
Dollar bill is approx 15.5cm in length.
I need help explaining this. Thank you.

- I need help with Q4. I can't figure out what equation I should use to find the velocity. I think it would be a combination of the velocity formulas for x and y but I'm not sure. My 4 simplified equations are: 1. Vxf = Vxi 2. (delta)x = Vxi * (delta)t 3. Vyf = 9.8 m/s^2 * (delta)t 4. (delta)y = 1/2(9.8 m/s^2) * (delta)t^2 For my data I have: (delta)y = 0.6604 meters (delta) t = 0.367 seconds I don't need the answer or a long explanation, I really just can't figure out what equation/formula I need to use to find "the velocity of your object as it rolls off the incline and enters free-fall."arrow_forwardThe first astronaut has landed on Mars.
