Answer:
x = 41.28 m
Explanation:
This is a projectile launching exercise, let's find the time it takes to get to the base of the cliff.
Let's start by using trigonometry to find the initial velocity
cos 25 = v₀ₓ / v₀
sin 25 = Iv_{oy} / v₀
v₀ₓ = v₀ cos 25
v_{oy} = v₀ sin 25
v₀ₓ = 22 cos 25 = 19.94 m / s
v_{oy} = 22 sin 25 = 0.0192 m / s
let's use movement on the vertical axis
y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²
when reaching the base of the cliff y = 0 and the initial height is y₀ = 21 m
0 = 21 + 0.0192 t - ½ 9.81 t²
4.905 t² - 0.0192 t - 21 = 0
t² - 0.003914 t - 4.2813 =0
we solve the quadratic equation
t =
t =
t₁ = 2.07 s
t₂ = -2.067 s
since time must be a positive scalar quantity, the correct result is
t = 2.07 s
now we can look up the distance traveled
x = v₀ₓ t
x = 19.94 2.07
x = 41.28 m
