Solution attempt. I know that f(x+a) shifts the function f(x) by a units to the left for a>1, however, I find this counterintuitive because adding a to x feels like it should move the graph to the right rather than to the left. I understand the algebra, but I struggle with the intuition behind...

Wow. I'll try your metod and see what I find.

Do mean by tossing eggs from a given height and compare it with the work required for tossing it from ground level? That sounds reasonably simple. I think I need a comparable building to throw the eggs from since I don't live at this location. Hopefully, I won't hit anyone with my eggs.

Haha I didn't notice that. That's actually a real possibility. Thank you for your insight, it was very helpful.

Thank's. I normally don't spend this much time on one problem. I am not satisfied with my conclusions, although I did my best anyway. The coordinates for the location at google Earth is 57.679459, 11.883131. These buildings does not appear to have any roof access.

Figure 1. A map of the crime scene. My attempt:We start by trying to map the possible throwing area from the green marked walls in the figure. The area can be divided into two suitable triangles from each corner towards the red marked crime scene. With the help of Google Earth, the sides of...

Yes. But isn't g positive? Then the initial velocity is negative. And I don't understand why the displacement has a negative value as well. Should I interpret this to mean that his body has deformed during the collision while the wall stayed intact?

My homework consists of trying to create a simple model for a collision. But I have trouble understanding a specific part of the assignment, namely what g-force is. I'm guessing that I'm allowed to make assumptions. But without understanding adequately the definition for g-force, I don't think...
