I burst into laughter while grading. The TA was so humorous to make such a quiz:
You woke up one morning and discovered that you've transformed into a pigeon! Realizing that this means you won't have to worry about school and classes any more, you decided to fly around the neighborhood. When flying around UCI, you recognized your TA standing at a bus stop, ready to go to school. Remembering how your TA has made your life miserable, you decided to "release" bird litter on him as a revenge. Your TA's height is 1.65 m.
1. Average pigeon can fly at an average speed of 30 mph. Convert this number to m/s.
2. You are flying at this average speed at the height of 10.0 m. How far away should you be from your TA when you "release" the litter? Draw a sketch of what's happening. How long does it take for the litter to reach your TA's head? (HINT: calculate How long first, then find How far)
