Question

A remote controlled toy car accelerates from rest with constant acceleration,
a, under the power of its own wheels on a horizontal balcony until it shoots off
the edge of the balcony a distance d = 2 m from its starting point as shown in
the figure. If the balcony is h = 10 m high, and the horizontal distance from
the point it left the balcony to where the car lands on level ground is D = 4 m,
what was the initial acceleration, a, of the car (in m/s2)?

Answer 1

Get the time t from the equation for distance fallen,

s = 10m = (1/2) g t^2

the horizontal distance from the table is D = v t = 4 m,
which gives you v.

The acceleration, a, from v=0 to the v you just found is
obtained from
v^2 = 2 a s, where s = 2 m, the length along the table.

Answer 2

Must leave. Good luck.
