Answer:
The horizontal distance travelled in that time lapse is 12.94 m
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem, we'll need:
- The horizontal speed
- the time the hammer takes to fall from the roof to the ground
At the lowest point of the roof, the hammer has a 9.88 m/s speed that makes an angle of 27° with the horizontal, so we can calculate the horizontal and vertical speed with trigonometry. If we take right as x positive and down as y positive we get
Now, we make two movement equation as we have a URM (no acceleration) in x and an ARM (gravity as acceleration) in y. We will wisely pick the lowest point of the roof as the origin of coordinates
Now we calculate the time the hammer takes to get to the floor
or
Now, we keep the positive time result and calculate the horizontal distance travelled
