In a saloon, a cowboy slides an empty beer mug down the counter for a refill while the barkeep has his back turned while filling a glass. The height of the counter is H = 1.1 m. The mug slides off the counter and hits the floor D = 1.34 m from the base of the counter.
Part 2 of 6 - Analyze Initial Conditions
Take the point on the floor just below the end of the counter to be the origin for the fall of the mug off of the countertop. What are the initial conditions for this problem?
The initial conditions for an object are its position and its velocity at the beginning of a process.
You may not know all of the quantities involved. If you don't know the value of a quantity, write "NaN", the IEEE code meaning not a number.
(a) What are the initial conditions for the mug during its fall?
