Question
A 0.2 kg rock is projected from the edge of
the top of a building with an initial velocity of
7.56 m/s at an angle 58° above the horizontal.
Due to gravity, the rock strikes the ground at
a horizontal distance of 10 m from the base of
the building.
Assume: The ground is level and that the
side of the building is vertical. The accelera-
tion of gravity is 9.8 m/s2.
