Wild geese are known for their lack of manners. One goose is flying northward at a level altitude of hg= 30.0 m above a north-south highway, when it sees a car ahead in the distance moving in the southbound lane and decides to deliver (drop) an “egg”. The goose is flying at a speed of vg= 15.0 m/s , and the car is moving at a speed of v c =100.0 km/h.

a) Given the details in the figure, where the separation between the goose and the front bumper of the car, d = 104.1 m, is specified at the instant when the goose takes action, will the driver have to wash the windshield after this encounter? (The center of the windshield is hc = 1.00 m off the ground.)

b) If the delivery is completed, what is the relative velocity of the “egg” with respect to the car at the moment of the impact?
