The velocity of water can be decomposed into its vertical and horizontal components:

The vertical component will exhibit a parabolic trajectory due to gravity, while the horizontal component will be linear:

To determine when the water reaches the ground 2.5m away, set y= 0 and x = 2.5
Answer:
The energy expected to be released is calculated to be 4182 Joules.
Explanation:
The total mass of coke is 2 kg, which is equivalent to 2000 g
1 calorie per gram corresponds to 4.184 Joules of energy
4.184 J/gC * 2000g results in 8368 J
1 food calorie approximates to 4186 J
By subtracting, we find 8368 - 4186
Hence, the total energy that will be released amounts to 4182 Joules.
