__**PROBLEM #1:**__ Princess Ameera was standing on the top of the Princess Tower which is 1,258 feet tall. As she was looking down she saw her brother Prince Amore and remembered that she was wearing his sweatshirt, last time she wore his sweatshirt he got very mad at her. Therefore, she didn't want to be caught wearing it again so she dropped in off the building so that it would land near her brother and he would never know that she borrowed it. How long will it take for the sweatshirt to hit the ground near her brother Prince Amore? __**PROBLEM #2:**__ Princess Ameera was standing on the top of the Princess Tower which is 1,258 feet tall. As she was looking down she saw her best friend Dubby. As she ran towards the ledge to scream Dubby's name she tripped and got a hole in her new shoes! She knew that her parents would be so upset that he just ruined her new pair of shoes so she called down for Dubby to go and buy tape to fix her shoes. Dubby ran to the nearest store and bought tape. Then she threw the tape at 30 ft/second. How long will it take for the tape that Dubby threw to reach the top of the 1,258 feet tall tower to get to Princess Ameera?
