Question: One of Sarah's neighbors spilled dog food all over the stairs. The dog food pieces are on three stairways and all over the landings. Sarah gets mad and kicks a piece of dog food. The dog food flies across the wooden planks from one side of the staircase landing to the other which was 3 meters long. The dog food reaches the neighbor's door mat.
