Answer:
280.86 m
Explanation:
Range is defined as the distance covered in the horizontal direction. In projectile, range is expressed as x = vt where;
x is the range
v is the velocity of the runner
t is the time taken
Before we can get the range though, we need to find the time taken t using the relationship S = ut + 1/2gt²
if u = 0
S = 1/2gt²
2S = gt²
t² = 2S/g
t = √2S/g
t = √2(141)/9.8
t = √282/9.8
t = 5.36secs
The range x = 52.4*5.36
x =280.86 m
Hence, the coyort lies approximately 280.86 m from the base of the cliff
