Answer:
1.35 m
Explanation:
Taking down to be positive, given:
Δx = Δy / tan 30.0º
v₀ₓ = 4.50 m/s
v₀ᵧ = 0 m/s
aₓ = 0 m/s²
aᵧ = 10 m/s²
Find: Δy
First, find the time it takes to land in terms of Δy.
Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²
Δy = (0 m/s) t + ½ (10 m/s) t²
Δy = 5t²
Next, find Δx in terms of t.
Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²
Δx = (4.50 m/s) t + ½ (0 m/s) t²
Δx = 4.50t
Substitute:
Δy = 5 (Δx / 4.50)²
20.25 Δy = 5 (Δx)²
4.05 Δy = (Δx)²
4.05 Δy = (Δy / tan 30.0º)²
4.05 Δy = 3 (Δy)²
1.35 = Δy

Well....t usually stands for time and the unit seconds proves that
