A projectile is fired horizontally with speed v0 from the top of a cliff of height h. It immediately enters a fixed tube with length x, as shown in Figure. There is friction between the projectile and the tube, the effect of which is to make the projectile decelerate with constant acceleration ax. After the projectile leaves the tube, it undergoes normal projectile motion down to the ground. Calculate the total horizontal distance, l, that the projectile travels. (g=9.8 m/s2)

Question

A projectile is fired horizontally with speed v0 from the top of a cliff of height h. It
immediately enters a fixed tube with length x, as shown in Figure. There is friction between the projectile
and the tube, the effect of which is to make the projectile decelerate with constant acceleration ax. After the
projectile leaves the tube, it undergoes normal projectile motion down to the ground. Calculate the total
horizontal distance, l, that the projectile travels. (g=9.8 m/s2)
