Review Conceptual Example 5 and Concept Simulation 3.1 before beginning this problem. You are traveling in a convertible with the top down. The car is moving at a constant velocity of 18.8 m/s, due east along flat ground. You throw a tomato straight upward at a speed of 6.03 m/s. How far has the car moved when you get a chance to catch the tomato

when two balls of the different masses are dropped from equal height, they reach the ground at the same time .this is because they experience the same acceleration.

the acceleration is independent of mass.

thus when they are dropped they will always maintain the same velocity and travel the same distance (neglect air resistance of course) at the same time.

snell's law

refractve index = sin incidence / sin refraction

pythagoras' theorem

square root (-5^2+9^2)

square root (25+81)

square root (106)

angle is tan^-1(9/5)
