Question 13 Mr. Muscedere needs to run off of a burning building. He is on the far-left side of the roof of the burning building. He starts from rest, accelerates at a rate of 0.706 m/s2 across the entire distance of the roof 4.88m. He runs perfectly horizontally off of the burning roof. His goal is to make it to a safety net that is located on the ground. The height of the building is 4.27m and the net is located 2.45m away from the base of the burning building. Justify whether he will land in the net or not?
