A blacksmith heats a 1,540 g iron horseshoe to a temperature of 1445°C before dropping it into 4,280 g of water at 23.1°C. If the specific heat of iron is 0.4494 J / g °C, and the water absorbs 947,000 J of energy from the horseshoe, what is the final temperature of the horseshoe-water system after mixing? A. 734°C
B. 298°C
C. 76.7°C
D. 29.8°C

Since you have not included the experiment situation and the data, of course, i can not give you specific details about it. but i can you with this question.1) i will assume that the motion is projectile (parabolic) motion.2) yes, the horizontal distance depends on the horizontal velocity as, naming vx the horizontal velocity and t the time, it is: x = vx × t3) now, observe that the flight time depends on the vertical velocity as, naming voy the initial vertical velocity, t the time and y the vertical distance before reaching the ground: y = yo + voy×t - gt² / 2.the higher the initial vertical velocity (voy) the longer the object will be flying and so t will be higher in the equation for the horizontal distance.that explains the relationship between the horizontal distance and the horizontal velocity.
