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.
A formula to use is ?=12??2d=12gt2?d = 1 2 g t 2
where d = distance
g = gravitational constant of 9.8
t = time
Aila is running at 5 m/s to catch the school bus, which is stopped to a nearby bus stop. When Aila is still 40 meters away from the bus, the bus is already moving with a constant acceleration of 0.170 m/s^2.
A. Compute the time and the distance does Aila have to run before she can overtake the bus.
B. At the instant she reaches the bus, how fast is the bus moving?
