If rocket had been 10 m above the ground when its horizontal distance from the launchpad was 2m ,wheredo you think rocket would have landed
To determine where the rocket would have landed, we need to take into account its horizontal distance from the launchpad and assume its projectile motion.
First, we can assume that the motion of the rocket is purely horizontal, neglecting any air resistance. In this case, the horizontal distance traveled by the rocket will remain constant regardless of its height.
Given that the horizontal distance from the launchpad is 2m, we can conclude that regardless of the rocket's height, it will land 2m away from the launchpad.
However, we also have information about the initial height of the rocket, which can affect its vertical motion. If the rocket is launched vertically, then its horizontal distance will not change as it goes up and comes down.
So, if we assume the rocket's motion is purely vertical, then regardless of its initial horizontal distance from the launchpad, it will hit the ground at the same spot it was launched from. In this case, the rocket would have landed at the launchpad.
Ultimately, without knowing the angle or velocity of the rocket's trajectory, we cannot determine its exact landing point. Additional information is needed to make a more accurate prediction.
