Answer:
x = 17.88[m]
Explanation:
We can find the components of the initial velocity:
We have to remember that the acceleration of gravity will be worked with negative sign, since it acts in the opposite direction to the movement in direction and the projectile upwards.
g = - 9.81[m/s^2]
Now we must find the time it takes for the projectile to hit the ground, as the problem mentions that it does not impact on the board.
With this time we can calculate the horizontal distance:
