2. Take a meter stick and place the front of the car at zero. Turn on the car and let it run until the front reaches the end of the meter stick. Make sure to use a timer to see how long it takes the car too travel that far. Divide the change in distance it travel by the time it took to find the velocity of the car.
3. The distance from the third floor to the first is y initial and y final is zero, initial velocity is zero, and acceleration is -9.81 m/s. Using this information and the appropriate formula, time can be found.
4. The number calculated in part two is the velocity for both x initial and final, time is the number found in step three, acceleration is zero m/s, and x initial is zero m. Using this information and the appropriate formula the student should find x final.

One partner on the first floor should mark where the ball will be dropped with an X. The distance measured from the starting point will depend on the x final found in the calculations from part four.
6. The other partner should be on the balcony ready to drop the ball when in reaches the X marked by the other
