How far from the base of the rock will she land?
i need help answering this.
the answer alone will be sufficient, however an explanation would be great too.
i don’t have time to work it out,
but basically you should have some kinematic equations.
you have initial velocity, acceleration(gravity), and the height of the object.
first figure out how long it would take to get to the bottom, using the height and the acceleration.
then using that time in the and the initial velocity you can figure out how far he travelled in that time.
giving you the distance.
Assuming height in meters and velocity in meter/second:
distance = 3.8 meters
