An eagle is flying horizontally 16.4 meters above a lake at a speed of 9.3 m/s, carrying a small pumpkin in its talons. The pumpkin slips free. How far horizontally will the pumpkin travel after it slips from the eagle until it hits the ground?

The horizontal distance the pumpkin will travel after it slips from the eagle is 17.02 m

Explanation:

Given;

height above the ground, h = 16.4 m

speed of the eagle, v = 9.3 m/s

The time it will take the pumpkin to fall at the given height is calculated as;

The horizontal distance traveled at this time is given by;

x = vt

x = (9.3)(1.83)

x = 17.02 m

Therefore, the horizontal distance the pumpkin will travel after it slips from the eagle is 17.02 m

true is the correct answer
