Velocities of the melon and arrow at moment of collision

Reference no: EM13665199

You decide to drop a melon from rest from the first observation platform of the Eiffel Tower. The initial height h from which the melon is released is 58.3 m above the head of your French friend Pierre, who is standing on the ground right below you. At the same instant you release the melon, Pierre shoots an arrow straight up by an initial velocity of 251.m/s. (a) At what height above Pierre’s head do the melon and the arrow collide? (b) What are the velocities of the melon and the arrow at the moment of collision?
