# 793m#

Explanation:

The velocity of projection of the bag is #u = 90m/s#

The angle of projection of the suitcase is #alpha = 23^@#

Initial vertical component of the velocity(upward)#=usinalpha#

The vertical displacement of the bag , #h=-114m#
Acceleration due to gravity #g = -9.8m/s^2#
" since upward initial vertical component of velocity taken +ve"

The horizontal component of the velocity#=ucosalpha# will remain unaltered until the object lands

Let the time required for its landing after it is thrown is T sec

So applying equation of motion under gravity we can write

#h=usinalphaxxT-1/2gxxT^2#
#=>-114=90sin23xxT-1/2xx9.8xxT^2#
#=>4.9T^2-35T-114=0#
#T =( -(-35)+sqrt((-35)^2-4xx4.9(-114)))/(2xx4.9)#
#T=9.57s#
Horizontal displacent of suitcase during this time of fall is #ucosalphaxxT=90*cos23*9.57=793m#
So the suitcase will land at a distance of 793m from the dog.
