Physics in Law Physics in Law The Minneapolis Police Department has hired you as a The Minneapolis Police Department has hired you as a
consultant in a robbery investigation. A thief allegedly consultant in a robbery investigation. A thief allegedly robbed a bank in the IDS Crystal Court. To escape the robbed a bank in the IDS Crystal Court. To escape the pursing security guards, the thief took the express pursing security guards, the thief took the express elevator to the roof of the IDS tower. Then, in order to elevator to the roof of the IDS tower. Then, in order to not be caught with the evidence, she allegedly threw the not be caught with the evidence, she allegedly threw the money bag to a waiting accomplice on the roof of money bag to a waiting accomplice on the roof of Dayton's, which is just to the west of the IDS tower (they Dayton's, which is just to the west of the IDS tower (they are separated by the Nicollet Mall). The defense attorney are separated by the Nicollet Mall). The defense attorney contends that in order to reach the roof of Dayton's, the contends that in order to reach the roof of Dayton's, the defendant would have had to throw the money bag with defendant would have had to throw the money bag with a minimum horizontal velocity of 10 meters/second. But a minimum horizontal velocity of 10 meters/second. But in a test, she could throw the bag with a maximum in a test, she could throw the bag with a maximum velocity of no more than 5 meters/second. How will you velocity of no more than 5 meters/second. How will you advise the prosecuting attorney? You determine that the advise the prosecuting attorney? You determine that the IDS tower is 250 meters high, Dayton's is 100 meters IDS tower is 250 meters high, Dayton's is 100 meters high and the Mall is 20 meters wide. high and the Mall is 20 meters wide.
