A circus performer stands on a platform and throws an apple from a height of 37.0 m above the ground with an initial velocity vo as shown in the figure below. A second, blindfolded performer must catch the apple. If vo = 30.0 m/s, how far from the end of the platform should the second performer stand? (Assume 0 = 35.0°.) Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 100%. m
