First, calculate the time it requires for the ball to reach the ground, given that its y-component is similar to that of the free-falling body through the equation,
d = 0.5gt²
Substituting the known values,
1.2 = 0.5(9.8 m/s²)(t²)
The value of t is equal to 1.56 seconds.
To calculate for the range of the given motion, we use the equation,
R = (Hx)t
where R is the range, Hx is the horizontal component of the force, and t is the time. Substituting,
R = (1.5 m/s)(1.56 s)
R = 2.34 m
Answer: 2.34 m
