A model rocket flies horizontally off the edge of a cliff at a velocity of 50.0 m/s. If the canyon below is 100.0 m deep, how far in the horizontal direction does the rocket travel from the edge of the cliff? (Assume no air resistance and that a^y=g=9.81 m/s^2.).

A226 m
B245 m
C350 m
D526 m

Verified Answer :

If the canyon below is 100.0 m deep, the rocket travels from the edge of
the cliff 226m in the horizontal direction.

 

When air resistance acts, acceleration during a fall will be less
than g because 
air resistance affects the motion of the falling objects by slowing it
down. 
Air resistance depends on two important factors -
the speed of the object and its urface area.
Increasing the surface area of
an object decreases its speed.
