Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 66GP
|| Egg drop. You are on the roof of the physics building of your school, 46.0 m above the ground. (See Figure 2.55.) 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 professor’s head, where should the professor be when you release the egg, assuming that the egg encounters no appreciable air drag?

I need help with Q4. I can't figure out what equation I should use to find the velocity. I think it would be a combination of the velocity formulas for x and y but I'm not sure. My 4 simplified equations are:
1. Vxf = Vxi
2. (delta)x = Vxi * (delta)t
3. Vyf = 9.8 m/s^2 * (delta)t
4. (delta)y = 1/2(9.8 m/s^2) * (delta)t^2
For my data I have:
(delta)y = 0.6604 meters
(delta) t = 0.367 seconds
I don't need the answer or a long explanation, I really just can't figure out what equation/formula I need to use to find "the velocity of your object as it rolls off the incline and enters free-fall."
An object has an acceleration that is directed opposite of its motion. What is true of the object?
O It is moving in a circle.
O It is slowing down.
O It is moving at a constant speed.
O It is speeding up.
O It is moving vertically.

A 0.50 kg ball is thrown at 42 degrees above the horizontal at 19 m/s from the hot air ballon
when the ballon is 25 m above the ground. The ballon is travelling upward at constant
speed of 3.5 m/s.
a. What is the time of flight?
| b. Calculate the range.
