Homework Statement
A ball is thrown from top of a 25m tall building. The balls initail speed is 12m/s. At the same instant a person is running on the ground at the distance of 31m from the building. What must be the avg speed of the person if he is to catch the ball at the bottem of the building?
Homework Equations
Ball
V initial = +12m/s
x= 25m
t=?
a= -9.8m/s^2
so i use the equation V^2=Vinti^2+ax to find the final v
and then use the Vfinal= v initial+at to find the time the ball hits the ground
and use this time to find the avg velocity of the boy running to the building
