Question
A cart is moving with a constant horizontal velocity of 5.00 m/s. A small pebble is launched from the front
of the cart with a velocity of 8.00 m/s at 60.0° above the horizontal as measured relative to the cart (see
figure) and experiences no significant air resistance.

Just as the pebble returns to the level from which it was launched, what is its distance from the front of the
cart?
How far did the pebble travel from its launch point relative to the ground.
