Hello all:
I have a question. I'm looking at this problem:
A flower pot falls past your window. The pot is visible for a time t, and the vertical length of your window is L_w. Take down to be the positive direction, so that downward velocities are positive and the acceleration due to gravity is the positive quantity g.
Assume that the flower pot was dropped by someone on the floor above you (rather than thrown downward).
From what height h above the bottom of your window was the flower pot dropped?
I know these variables:
a = 9.8
x_i = 0
I know that I can use the bottom of the window as x_f. I'm not really sure how to start out here though, any information would be really useful.
Thanks,
