Bob proposed Alice to a marriage on the very top of a 30m building. Alice said yes. Bob then put the ring on Alice’s finger. Alice was very happy. She threw her hands up in the air. Unfortunately, the ring slipped from her finger and fell down due to gravity.Bob set up a camera to record the moment. Thus, he look at the footage and determine that the ring was going out of Alice’s hand with speed of vi =10m/s at an angle of θ=30 . The dimension of the building is given below. (a) If the ring were to land on the terrace, how long would it take?(b) If the ring were to land on the Lawn, how long would it take?(c) Where should Bob search for the ring? Terrace or lawn? An answer with no support reasoning will recieve no credit.

A cat is sleeping on the floor in the middle of a 3.0 m wide room when a barking dog enters with a speed of 1.50 m/s. As the dog enters, the cat immediately accelerates at 0.85 m/s2 toward an open window on the opposite side of the room. The dog is a bit startled by the cat and begins to slow down at 0.10 m/s2 as soon as it enters the room. How far is the cat in front of the dog as it leaps through the window?

A hare and a tortoise are having a race along a 2.0km track. The tortoise sets off at a constant speed of 1.6 m/s. The hare is confident that they can win, so first do 1000 meters at 5 m/s turns around and sees the hare and so stops and falls asleep for 10 mins. The hare wakes up and then sees the tortoise too close so speeds up again at 5m/s for another 500 meters after which the Hare again decides to sleep for 5 mins being so are in front. The Hare wakes up and sees the Tortoise! He dashes for the finish another 500 meters away at 8 m/s. To no avail as the story goes. By how much did the Tortoise win?
Why is the following situation possible? Emily challenges her friend David to catch a $1 bill as follows. She holds the bill vertically as shown in figure P2.29 with the center of the bill between but not touching David's index finger and thumb. Without warning, Emily releases the bill. David catches the bill without moving his hands downwards. David reaction time is equal to the average human reaction time. Avg human reaction time is .2s. Dollar bill is approx 15.5cm in length. I need help explaining this. Thank you.
