Answer:
approximately 13.77 m
Explanation:
We use the kinematic equations for the horizontal motion which is a uniform non-accelerated motion, and with initial velocity equal to 16 * cos(55). This is described by the equation:
[tex]x=16 * cos(55^o) * t = 9.177 * t[/tex]
then at t = 1.5 seconds, the covered distance becomes:
x = 9.177 * (1.5) = 13.7655 m
Round the answer to the number of decimals that the problem asks.
