A stone is thrown with an initial speed of 12 m/s at an angle of 30o above the horizontal from the top edge of a cliff. If it takes the stone 5.6 s to reach the bottom, how far does the stone travel horizontally

Answer:


d=58m

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Initial Speed
U=12m/s

Time
T=5.6s

Angle
\theta=30

Generally the Newton's equation for motion is mathematically given by


d=d'+ut+(at^2)/(2)


d=12cos30*5.6


d=58m
