Answer:
They will meet at a distance of 7.57 m
Given:
Initial velocity of policeman in the x- direction,
The distance between the buildings,
The building is lower by a height, h = 2.5 m
Solution:
Now,
When the policeman jumps from a height of 2.5 m, then his initial velocity, u was 0.
Thus
From the second eqn of motion, we can write:
t = 0.707 s
Now,
When the policeman was chasing across:
The distance they will meet at:
9.57 - 2.0 = 7.57 m
