Why is the following situation possible?
Emily challenges her friend David to catch a $1 bill as follows. She holds the bill vertically as shown in figure P2.29 with the center of the bill between but not touching David's index finger and thumb. Without warning, Emily releases the bill. David catches the bill without moving his hands downwards. David reaction time is equal to the average human reaction time.
Avg human reaction time is .2s.
Dollar bill is approx 15.5cm in length.
I need help explaining this. Thank you.

Both dogs sprint away in different directions while Daniel stands still. From Daniel's point of view, Newton runs due north at 4.15 m/s, but from Pauli's point of view, Newton appears to be moving at 1.50 m/s due east. What is Pauli's velocity relative to Daniel, ?⃗PD? Give your answer in unit vector notation, where north is taken to be the positive ?-direction and east is the positive ?-direction. ?⃗PD=?ı̂+?ȷ̂ ?=??? m/s ?=???? m/s Next, express your answer as a magnitude and an angle measured counterclockwise from due east. magnitude=??? m/s angle=??? ∘ counterclockwise from due eastarrow_forward35.
