Question

A student throws a baseball horizontally at 25 meters per second from a cliff 45 meters above the level ground. Approximately how far from the base of the cliff does the ball hit the ground? [neglect air resistance.]

Answer 1

1) Find the time needed for the falling baseball to hit the ground. (t) \[t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\]
2) Find the distance covered by this time t. (x) \[x=v_xt\]
