Ben and Holly were playing with a flash drive in the computer room. Ben slid the flash drive on top of the table for Holly to catch. However, Holly failed to catch the flash drive so it went straight out of the window with an initial velocity of 2.5 m/s. If the point at which it exits the window is 15 m from the ground, determine if their ICT teacher is 4 m away from the side of the building adjacent to the window where the flash drive fell, will he be hit by the flash drive? Prove your answer.

I am having trouble solve a beggining question for my physics lab course. I have to dervive a formula for time given the equations in the photo attatched. In this experiment a cannon is being fired at a specified height and angle. To start, the cannon is set to a height of 10m and the angle of the launch being set at 0 degrees.
Jill sets out from her home to deliver flyers for her yard sale, traveling due east (+x) along her street lined with houses. After going 500 m she runs out of flyers and has to retrace her steps back to her house to get more. After picking up more flyers, she sets out again on the same path, continuing where she left off, and ends up 1000 m from her house. At this point she turns back toward her house, heading west (-x). After 1750 m she stops to get ice cream (Draw pictures to help with your calculations.) What is Jill’s total displacement to the point where she stops to get ice cream? What is Jill’s total distance traveled? please show work.. thank you
Arthur and Betty start walking toward each other when they are 100. m apart. Arthur has a speed of 3.0 m/s and Betty has a speed of 2.0 m/s.
