Answer

56 m

Work Step by Step

Let's apply the equation $S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$ in the vertical direction to find the flight time of the tomato. $\uparrow S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$ ; Let's plug known values into this equation. $0=11\space m/s\times t+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8\space m/s^{2})t^{2}$ $t=\frac{2\times 11\space m/s}{9.8\space m/s^{2}}=2.24\space s$ Let's apply the equation $S=ut$ in the horizontal direction to the car. $\rightarrow S=ut$ $S=25\space m/s\times2.24\space s=56\space m$ So, the car moves through a distance of 56 m
