Dock diving is a great form of athletic competition for dogs ofall shapes and sizes. Sheba, the American Pit Bull Terrier, runsand jumps off the dock with an initial speed of 9.52 m/s at anangle of 27° with respect to the surface of the water. (Assume thatthe +x axis is in the direction of the run and the+y axis is up.)

(a) If Sheba begins at a height of 0.78 m above the surface ofthe water, through what horizontal distance does she travel beforehitting the surface of the water?
