Answer: 53 m
Explanation:
Work = Force × Displacement
W= F s cosΘ
Where, s is the displacement and F is the force. Θ is the angle between force and displacement
F cosθ is the component of force acting in the horizontal direction.
The air pump applies F = 150 N force at an angle Θ = 45°
W = 5600 J
⇒s = W/F cosθ
[tex]\Rightarrow s =\frac{5600 J}{150\times cos 45^o}\approx 53 m[/tex]
Thus, the horizontal distance the water bottle rocket travels is 53 m
