Unformatted text preview: c) As the fisherman is floating toward you, how far away horizontally does the fisherman have to be when you release the egg to hit him on the head? Solution to Part (c) We know the time it takes for the egg to drop 10m is 1.4s (from part (a)), so we need to drop the egg 1.4s before the fisherman floats under the bridge. If the fisherman’s boat floats at 1m/s, then we can use: ∆ x = vi*t + ½*a*t^2. But a = 0, v = vi = 1m/s, and t = 1.4s, so ∆ x = 1m/s * 1.4s = 1.4m. So you drop the egg when the fisherman is horizontally 1.4m after from the bridge (and you)....
