ANSWER:
Solution
Step 1 of 2
We need to verify the horizontal distance travelled by the coin is .
Using the kinematics equation the vertical distance travelled by the coin is
Where
is the final vertical position of the coin
is the time taken by the coin to reach down from the initial position.
is the initial vertical position of the coin and it is zero.
So
