The shape of Sugarloaf mountain, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is such that, if you were to kick a soccer ball hard enough, it could land near the base of the mountain
without hitting the mountain's side. Suppose the ball is kicked horizontally with an
initial speed of 9:37 m/s. If the ball travels a horizontal distance of 85.0 m, how tall
is the mountain?

The mountain is 403 m tall

Explanation:

Horizontal Launch

When an object is thrown horizontally with a speed v from a height h, it describes a curved path ruled by gravity until it hits the ground.

The range or maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object can be calculated as follows:

It's given that if a ball is kicked from the top of the Sugarloaf Mountain, it will land near its base without hitting the side. The initial speed is v=9.37 m/s and it reaches a horizontal distance of d=85 m. Solving the equation for h:

Substituting:

The mountain is 403 m tall

Golding's underlying argument is that human beings are savage by nature, and are moved by primal urges toward selfishness, brutality, and dominance over others. Though the boys think the beast lives in the jungle, Golding makes it clear that it lurks only in their hearts.
