- Use the technique of separating the problem into X- and Y- components to solve this problem: A Halloween prankster throws an egg out the window of an office building down onto the parking lot below. The egg is thrown with a velocity of 18 meters / second, at an upward angle of 23 degrees, and is release exactly 53 meters above the surface of the parking lot. The egg lands on the roof of a parked SUV, 2 meters above the surface of the parking lot.

For all parts, assume that the "island" refers to the point at a distance D from the point at which the package is released, as shown in the figure. Ignore the height of this point above sea level. Assume that the free-fall acceleration is g = 9.80 m/s2 . a. After a package is dropped from the plane, how long will it take for it to reach sea level from the time it is dropped?
