As you can see in the screenshot, once you plot the points for each rectangle, it becomes easier to see what's happening. In the first transformation, the rectangle is translated or slid. In the next 2 transformations, the rectangle is rotated. In the last transformation, the rectangle is dilated or shrunk. The first rectangle is the only translation.
displacement Bond will travel when he jumps is -10 m
What we are looking for is the time it will take him to hit the top of the truck, knowing that the truck can travel from one pole to the next in 1 second.
Our displacement equation is
Δx = v₀t + 1/2at²
Filling in we have
Simplifying we get
This is a quadratic that needs to be solved however you personally solve quadratics. When you do that, you find that the times it will take Bond to drop that displacement is either -.37 seconds or 5.47 seconds. Many things in physics can be negative, like velocity and acceleration, but time NEVER will be. So it takes Bond 5.5 seconds to drop to the roof of the moving truck. That means that he needs to jump when the truck is between the 5th and the 6th poles away from him.
