A busy waitress slides a plate of apple pie along a counter to a hungry customer sitting near the end of the counter. The customer is not paying attention and the plate slides off the counter horizontally at 2.45 m/s. The counter is 2.4 m high. How long does it take the plate to fall to the floor?

i think it's 35 meters

see the picture for the vector

the magnitude of the vector by pythagorean theorem

r = √( (-10)^2 + (3)^2 ) = √109

magnitude = √109 units

the direction angle between vector and x-axis is

tan^(-1)(3/10) = 16.699

so the direction is approximately 16.7 degrees north of west

amplitude

hope this
