QUESTION:

Egg Drop. You are on the roof of the physics building, \(46.0 \mathrm{~m}\) above the ground (Fig. P2.80). Your physics professor, who is \(1.80 \mathrm{~m}\) tall, is walking alongside the building at a constant speed of \(1.20 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). If you wish to drop an egg on your professor’s head, where should the professor be when you release the egg? Assume that the egg is in free fall.
