Chapter 6, Problem 5RQ
- 5. A 1-kilogram mass has just been dropped from the roof of a building. I need to catch it after it has fallen exactly 100 meters. If I weight 80 kilograms and start running at 7 meters per second as soon as the object is released, how far away can I stand and still catch the object?
