So I already did the question, but I do not know if my answer is correct. Could someone please do it plus include your work so I could compare? Question: A tiger leaps horizontally from a 5.5 m high rock with a speed of 3.5 m/s. How far from the base of the rock will she land?
-
if the initial motion is horizontal, then the time of flight will be equal to the time it takes to fall a distance of 5.5m, and this time is
t = Sqrt[ 2 h/g] where h is 5.5m and g is 9.8m/s/s
if this is the time of flight, the horizontal distance traveled is just 3.5 m/s x time of flight
substitute values and solve for distance traveled
t = Sqrt[ 2 h/g] where h is 5.5m and g is 9.8m/s/s
if this is the time of flight, the horizontal distance traveled is just 3.5 m/s x time of flight
substitute values and solve for distance traveled
