Question

A rock thrown to the right with an initial horizontal velocity of 4 m/s lands after 5
seconds. What horizontal distance has the rock traveled?

Answer 1

Answer:

20m

Explanation:

Using the equation s=d/t and re arranging it to solve for distance, d=St, where d=distance, s=speed, ant t=time, we can plug in known variables.

d=4*5

d=20m

there is a distance of 20m traveled

Answer 2

The horizontal distance traveled by the rock is 20 m

For horizontal motion, we use the formula below

⇒ Formula

s = vt.................... equation 1

⇒ Where

• S = horizontal distance traveled by the rock
• v = velocity of the rock
• t = time

From the question,

⇒ Given:

• v = 4 m/s
• t = 5 seconds

⇒ Substitute these values into equation 1

• s = 4×5
• s = 20 m

Hence, The horizontal distance traveled by the rock is 20 m
