At a birthday party, the celebrant pops a corked fruit wine. If the cork shoots out of the bottle at an angle of 40o to the horizontal and travels a horizontal distance of 4.50m in 1.25s. Calculate the initial speed of the cork.
A
4.2ms-1
B
4.7ms-1
C
5.6ms-1
D
7.1ms-1
correct option: b
R = Ucos\(\theta\) x t

U = \(\frac{R}{Cos \theta \times t}\)

= \(\frac{4.50}{Cos40N.25}\)

= 4.699m/s
