Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

the range = 5.00m (distance moved in horizontal direction)

Height = 0.150m

Required

Initial velocity of the dart

Using the formula for calculating range of a projectile;

R = U√2H/g

5 = U√2(0.15)/9.8

5 = U√0.0306

5 = 0.1749U

U = 5/0.1749

U = 28.59m/s

Hence the initial horizontal velocity of the dart is 28.59m/s
