In ancient wars, heavy rocks are thrown horizontally from the wall as weapons. f the initial speed of a rock is 3 m/s , how many meters will it travel horizontally from a wall 25 meters abov the ground after 2 seconds(neglect air resistance, g=9.8m/s2)

The horizontal distance traveled by the rock from the wall after 2 seconds is 6m.

Explanation:

Given;

initial speed of the rock, u = 3 m/s

height of the wall, h = 25 m

time of travel, t = 2 seconds

The horizontal distance is determined as follows;

X = ut + ¹/₂gt²

where;

g is acceleration due to gravity, horizontal distance is not affected by gravity, g = 0

X = ut

X = 3 x 2

X = 6 m

Therefore, the horizontal distance traveled by the rock from the wall after 2 seconds is 6m.

when jerome paddle in flowing river towards east the net speed of jerome will increase

so the net speed of jerome will be given as

now the speed of paul will be same as it is given as he is running on the ground

so

so here we can say since the speed of jerome is more so he will win the race

now as we know the distance so the time difference is given as

so jerome will reach first and the time difference will be 203.55 s or 3.4 min
