2.70 Egg Drop. You are on the Figure P2.70
roof of the physics building, 46.0 m
above the ground (Fig. P2.70). Your
physics professor, who is 1.80 m tall,
is walking alongside the building at
a constant speed of 1.20 m/s. If you
wish to drop an egg on your profes-
sor's head, where should the profes-
sor be when you release the egg?
Assume that the egg is in free fall.
2.71 CALC The acceleration
of a particle is given by ax(t) =
