Keerat and Jenna are trying to drop a round melon (0.40kg) off the roof of the school 15 m tall onto a target on the ground. To consistently hit the target, they know that they need to create a ramp and let the melon roll from the same spot to get a consistent speed. They do a few trials to find that the melon rolls 5.0 m in an average of 3.4 seconds. How far away should the target be so that the melon hits it?
