Question

Manuel kicks a can horizontally off the edge of the sidewalk into the street of 10m/s. The curb is .15 meters tall

Answer 1

Time taken to reach the ground is given by vertical direction

`y = v_y * t + (1)/(2)gt^2`

`0.15 = 0 + (1)/(2)*9.8*t^2`

`t = 0.175 s`

now in the same time it will move horizontally

`d = v_x * t`

`d = 10 * 0.175 = 1.75 m`

so it will land at distance 1.75 m
