1. A boy on a 20-m high platform throws a ball at a distance of 5 m. At what speed is the ball thrown? (See the diagram) Solution: Given: dx Find : Vox (Vox = 4) Since d = 5 m, then we need to find the time t, yet from d = X y 5 m; horizontal distance dy = 20 m; vertical distance t = √ Hence, Vox = dx t /2(20) 9.8 5m sec. m/s gta, or or t = √ 2dy g 20m 5 m

1. A boy on a 20-m high platform throws a ball at a distance of 5 m. At what speed is the
ball thrown? (See the diagram)
Solution: Given dx =
dy
Find : Vox (Vox =)
t = v
Since d = 5 m, then we need to find the time t, yet from d = gt²,
