Answer:
A
Explanation:
Please see the attached picture for the full solution.
Since we are only concerned about the decrease in gravitational potential energy of the car, we look at the decrease in height of the car as it moves from point X to point Y, instead of the distance travelled by the car.
Answer:

Explanation:
Answer:
Approximately (assuming that the projectile was launched at angle of
above the horizon.)
Explanation:
Initial vertical component of velocity:
.
The question assumed that there is no drag on this projectile. Additionally, the altitude of this projectile just before landing is the same as the altitude
at which this projectile was launched:
.
Hence, the initial vertical velocity of this projectile would be the exact opposite of the vertical velocity of this projectile right before landing. Since the initial vertical velocity is (upwards,) the vertical velocity right before landing would be
(downwards.) The change in vertical velocity is:
.
Since there is no drag on this projectile, the vertical acceleration of this projectile would be . In other words,
.
Hence, the time it takes to achieve a (vertical) velocity change of would be:
.
Hence, this projectile would be in the air for approximately .
