Question

WILL GIVE BRAINLYST A flower pot is thrown out of a window with a horizontal velocity of 8 m/s. If the window is 1.5 m off the ground, how far from the window does it land? A. 0.3 m B. 0.6 m C. 2.4 m D. 4.4 m

Answer 1

-- Use the formula  D=(1/2)·(g)·(t²)  to calculate how long
it takes the flower pot to fall to the ground.

1.5 m = (1/2) · (9.8 m/s²) · (t²)

t² = (1.5 m) / (4.9 m/s²)

t = 0.554 second

-- Use the formula Distance = (speed)·(time) to calculate
how far the pot traveled horizontally in that amount of time.

Distance = (8 m/s) · (0.554 sec)

Distance horizontally = 4.43 meters
