Answer:
V= 33.98 m/s
Explanation:
Given that
Horizontal speed ,u= 17 m/s
Time taken by rockets to strike the water ,t= 3 s
We know that acceleration due to gravity ,g= 9.81 m/s²
There is no any acceleration in the horizontal direction that is why the horizontal veloity will remain constant.
In the vertical direction
vy = uy+ g t
Initial velocity in vertical direction is 0 m/s.
vy= 0+ 9.81 x 3
vy = 29.43 m/s
The resultant velocity
[tex]V=\sqrt{v_y^2+u^2}[/tex]
[tex]V=\sqrt{29.43^2+17^2}\ m/s[/tex]
V= 33.98 m/s
