Hi guys, I am really stuck with this homework question... The answer is 14.5 m/s but I do not know how to calculate it.
A car has run into a fire hydrant and come to an abrupt stop. A suitcase tied to a rack on top of the car has been thrown off and has landed on the roadside 11.6 m away from the hydrant. The suitcase is found to have been 1.2 m above the ground when it was still on the rack. Determine the impact speed of the car if the launching angle for the suitcase was 10 degrees (from the positive x-axis).
(Assume g=9.8 m/s2).
Thanks!
