Answer:
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;
[tex]t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }\\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2*16.4}{9.8} }\\\\t = 1.83 \ s[/tex]
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
