Answer 1

Answer:

72.53 mi/hr

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Vertical distance i.e Height (h) = 8.26 m

Horizontal distance (s) = 42.1 m

Horizontal velocity (u) =?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the car to get to the ground.

This can be obtained as follow:

Height (h) = 8.26 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

8.26 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

8.26 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 8.26 / 4.9

Take the square root of both side by

t = √(8.26 / 4.9)

t = 1.3 s

Next, we shall determine the horizontal velocity of the car. This can be obtained as follow:

Horizontal distance (s) = 42.1 m

Time (t) = 1.3 s

Horizontal velocity (u) =?

s = ut

42.1 = u × 1.3

Divide both side by 1.3

u = 42.1 / 1.3

u = 32.38 m/s

Finally, we shall convert 32.38 m/s to miles per hour (mi/hr). This can be obtained as follow:

1 m/s = 2.24 mi/hr

Therefore,

32.38 m/s = 32.38 m/s × 2.24 mi/hr / 1 m/s

32.38 m/s = 72.53 mi/hr

Thus, the car was moving at a speed of

72.53 mi/hr.
