If Julia is traveling along a highway at a constant speed of 50 miles per hour, how far does she travel in two hours and 30 minutes?

The distance travelled dd is the rate rr multiplied by time tt:
$$\displaystyle{d}={r}{t}$$
Substitute r=50 miles per hour and t=2.5 hours (2 hr 30 min):
$$\displaystyle{d}={\left({50}\right)}{\left({2.5}\right)}$$
$$\displaystyle{d}={125}{m}{i}\le{s}$$

You are on the roof of the physics building, 46.0 m above the ground. Your physics professor, who is 1.80 tall, is walking along side the building at a constant speed of 1.20 m/s. If you wish to drop an egg on your professor's head, how far from the building should the professor be when you release the egg? Assume that the egg is in free fall.Take the free fall acceleration to be $$\displaystyle{9.80}\ {\frac{{{m}}}{{{s}^{{2}}}}}$$
