| Mr. Tell wonders how he ever got into this situation! His son is aiming at the apple, forgetting his physics lesson about the effect of "g" on projectiles. Too late to remind him now...have you ever tried to shout a warning with an apple on your nose? What? You've never had an apple on your nose? Better an apple than a zit...but I digress.
Will's son's slingshot propels the pebble with a horizontal velocity of 20 m/s. If the distance between son and dad is 10 m, how far below the apple will the pebble be when it arrives at dad's location? By the way, the apple and the slingshot are at the same distance above the ground. |
