Answer 2

0.145m

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the equation of motion formula y = ut + 1/2gt² where;

y is the horizontal displacement

u is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time

To calculate the horizontal displacement, we need to first get the time t. Using the equation:

v = u+gt

1.3² = 0+(9.8)t

1.69 = 9.8t

t = 1.69/9.8

t = 0.172s

Substituting the time into the equation above to get y

y = 0+1/2(9.8)(0.172)²

y = 4.905(0.029584)

y = 0.145m

Hence the cup's horizontal displacement during the fall is 0.145m
