You take a frisbee to the top of the Washington Monument and send it sailing along horizontally at a speed of 5 m/s from the very top of the structure, which is 169.2 m above the ground. A) How long will the frisbee remain in the air? (Remember--perfect physics world--no air resistance!) B) How far down range will the frisbee go (down range - horizontal distance.)?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that,

A frisbee sent horizontally from the top of the building

The initial speed of frisbee is u=5m/s

And the height of the building is H=169.2m

 

So the horizontal component of the initial speed of frisbee is ux=u=5m/s

And the vertical component of the initial speed of frisbee is uy=0m/s
