A projectile is launched from the top of a tower
in an x-Z plane such that its initial position is
(0,110)m with an initial velocity of (:12,5:)(m)/(s).
While the projectile is in the region Z>=100m,
it is accelerated downwards with a constant
acceleration of <-8,-10>(m)/(s^(2)). While the
projectile is in the region Z<100m (below the
height from which it was launched), its net
acceleration is along the vector (:0,-10:)(m)/(s^(2)) due
to the absence of winds present at higher
elevations. How far from the origin (0,0) does
the projectile land when it hits the solid ground
as defined by the line Z=0 ? (Do not worry
about the width of the tower; just assume that
the projectile does not hit the tower on the way
down).
