A person picking apples stand on a ladder 3.0 m above the ground. He throws them into a basket 2.0 m away. How fast must the person throw the apple in order for it to land in
the basket?

The speed the apple must be thrown in order for it to land in the basket is  2.554 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

height above the ground, h = 3.0 m

horizontal distance, X = 2.0 m

The time to drop from the given height;

h = ¹/₂gt²

The horizontal speed traveled by the apple is given by;

vₓ = X / t

vₓ = 2 / 0.783

vₓ = 2.554 m/s

Therefore, the speed the apple must be thrown in order for it to land in the basket is  2.554 m/s.
