At a birthday party, the celebrant pops a corked fruit wine. If the cork shoots out of the bottle at an angle of 40^o to the horizontal and travels a horizontal distance of 4.50m in 1.25s. Calculate the initial speed of the cork.

4.2ms^-1

4.7ms^-1

5.6ms^-1

7.1ms^-1

Correct answer is B

R = Ucos\(\theta\) x t

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

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

= 4.699m/s
