Question

As part of a movie stunt, a full-size remote-controlled car is driven horizontally off a 9.00 m tall cliff at 24.40 m/s. How far (Δx) from the bottom of the cliff does the car land?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the time it takes to hit the bottom....then multiply this time by the horizontal velocity .......

Time to hit bottom :

d = 1/2 at^2

9 m = 1/2 (9.81 m/s^2) (t^2) shows t = 1.35 s

Now the horizontal displacement is

x = rate * time = 24.40 m/s * 1.35 s = 33.1 m
