The speed of water can be split into vertical and horizontal speed components:

Due to the force of gravity, the y component will be parabolic. The x component will be linear:

To find when the water hits the ground 2.5m away, set y= 0 and x = 2.5
Answer:
<u><em>The truck was moving 16.5 m/s during the time it took to stop, which was 3 seconds. </em></u>
- <u><em>Initial velocity = 33 m/s</em></u>
- <u><em>Final velocity = 0 m/s</em></u>
- <u><em>Average velocity = (33 + 0) / 2 m/s = 16.5 m/s</em></u>
Explanation:
- <u><em>First, how long does it take the truck to come to a complete stop?</em></u>
- <u><em>( 33 m/s ) / ( 11 m / s^2 ) = 3 seconds</em></u>
- <u><em>Then we can look at the average velocity between when the truck started decelerating and when it came to a complete stop. Because the deceleration is constant (always 11m/s^2) we can use this trick.</em></u>
Looks like you need to review through the lesson and take notes as it tells you in the lesson what each of these are.
None whatsoever.
You're confusing the formation of the Earth with the so-called "Big Bang".
The sun and planets formed billions of years AFTER the Big Bang.
