Answer:
15.7 m
Explanation:
The range (horizontal distance) of the projectile is determined only by its horizontal motion.
The horizontal motion is a motion with constant speed, which is equal to the initial horizontal velocity of the object:
where
v = 12.0 m/s is the initial velocity
is the angle between the direction of v and the horizontal
Substituting,
We know that the projectile hits the ground in a time of
t = 2.08 s
so the horizontal distance covered is
