6. A crazy, young boy on a sled is able to get up to an incredible speed of 22.5 m/s (yes, he is wearing a helmet!) along a frictionless horizontal surface while he approaches an icy hill with a vertical height of 11 m, as shown. He makes it to the top, and then flies off horizontally from the ledge of the hill. How far from the base of the hill does the boy land? 225 mis Figure 1
