Question

A mountain goat butts you off a 50.0 m high cliff with a horizontal velocity of 3.0 m/s. How far from the base will you strike the ground?

Answer: (d_x = 9.6 m)

Please show work thank you!

Answer 1

H = gt²/2 . F√rom here time t = √(2H/g) = √(2·50m/9.81m/s²) = 3.193 s

So, d_x = vt = 3m/s·3.193s = 9.58 m
