To find the horizontal distance multiple the horizontal velocity by the time. Since there is no given time it must be calculated using kinematic equation.
Y=Yo+Voyt+1/2at^2
0=.55+0+1/2(-9.8)t^2
-.55=-4.9t^2
sqrt(.55/4.9)=t
t=0.335 seconds
Horizontal distance
=0.335s*1.2m/s
=0.402 meters
The answer is methamphetamine
my hypothesis is that If you drop a piece of buttered toast, it will land butter side down.
I tested it by dropping 10 pieces of buttered toast off the table and noted on which side it landed
It could be falsified cause I just made all of this up. In essence, it's like flipping a coin, 50/50 chance so I could say that 5 landed butter up and 5 landed butter down.
Answer:
3.467 s
Explanation:
given,
distance , d = 49 mm = 0.049 m
initial speed of the of the rock, v = 17 m/s
time taken by the Heather rock to reach water
using equation of motion

taking downward as negative

4.9 t² + 17 t - 0.049 = 0
now,
t₁ = -3.47 s , 0.0028 s
rejecting negative values
t₁ = 0.0028 s
now, time taken by the ball of Jerry
using equation of motion

taking downward as negative

4.9 t² - 17 t - 0.049 = 0
now,

t₂ = 3.47 s ,-0.0028 s
rejecting negative values
t₂ = 3.47 s
now, time elapsed is = t₂ - t₁ = 3.47 - 0.0028 = 3.467 s
In triangle ABC , using Pythagorean theorem
BC = sqrt(AB² + AC²)
r = sqrt(y² + x²) eq-1
taking derivative both side relative to "t"
dr/dt = (1/(2 sqrt(y² + x²) ) ) (2 y (dy/dt) + 2 x (dx/dt))
dr/dt = (1/(2 sqrt(0.5² + 0.5²) ) ) (2 (0.5) (dy/dt) + 2 (0.5) (dx/dt))
dr/dt = (1/(2 sqrt(0.5² + 0.5²) ) ) ( v₁ + v₂)
15= (1/(2 sqrt(0.5² + 0.5²) ) ) ( - 30 + v₂)
v₂ = 51.2 m/s
