Question
A. B. Do step by step and mention variables and units
or not as much as
Chief Boolie, the jungle dweller, is out hunting for dinner when a coconut falls
from a tree and lands on his toe. If the nut fell for 1.4 s, how fast was it
traveling when it hit Chief Boolie's toe?
Here is a bet that you are almost sure to win! Try dropping
a dollar bill through a friend's fingers and offer to let her
keep it if she can catch it. The bill should be started just at
the finger level and your friend shouldn't have any
advanced warning when it is going to drop. A dollar bill
has a length of 15.5 cm and human reaction time is rarely
ess than 0.20 s. Do the necessary calculations-why is this
almost a sure bet? calculate d
