Question

A boy climbs 12.0m up an apple tree. He picks an apple and throws it horizontally with a velocity of 3.0 m/s. How far forward does the ball go before it hits the ground

Answer 1

4.692m

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance that this boy climbed = 12.0m

The velocity = 3.0m/s

We are to find how far forward this apple goes before it hits the ground.

We have y = 1/2gt²

X = v*t

T = 1.564 seconds

X = 3x1.564

X = 4.692m

Therefore the ball goes a distance of 4.692m forward before it then hits the ground.
