Question

Bert is standing on a ladder picking apples in his grandfather's

orchard. As he pulls each apple off the tree, he tosses it into a
basket that sits on the ground 3.0 m below at a horizontal
distance of 2.0 m from Bert. How fast must Bert throw the apples
(horizontally) in order for them to land in the basket?

Answer 1

1/2 g t^2 = 3 m calculate time for apple to fall 3 m

t = (6 / 9.80)^1/2 = .78 s time for apple to fall 3 m

Sx = Vx t horizontal distance traveled

Vx = 2m / .78 s = 2.6 m/s horizontal speed needed
