Physics

To find the horizontal displacement of the object during its flight, we can follow these steps:

 

Calculate the vertical velocity just before hitting the ground:

The object falls from a height of . The final speed when it hits the ground is . We can find the vertical component of the velocity using the Pythagorean theorem:

Since we need to find , we rearrange the equation:

 

Determine the time of flight:

The vertical motion can be described using:

Rearranging gives:

 

Calculate using the fall distance:

We know that the vertical distance can be calculated using:

Substituting :
