Answer:
The speed the apple must be thrown in order for it to land in the basket is 2.554 m/s.
Explanation:
Given;
height above the ground, h = 3.0 m
horizontal distance, X = 2.0 m
The time to drop from the given height;
h = ¹/₂gt²
[tex]t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }\\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2*3}{9.8} }\\\\t = 0.783 \ s[/tex]
The horizontal speed traveled by the apple is given by;
vₓ = X / t
vₓ = 2 / 0.783
vₓ = 2.554 m/s
Therefore, the speed the apple must be thrown in order for it to land in the basket is 2.554 m/s.
