Horizontal velocity of the train = 45 kmph = 45 * 5/18 = 12.5 m/s
Horizontal velocity of the object wrt the train = 5 m/s
Since the two above velocities are perpendicular to each other (in the horizontal plane), the resultant velocity (horizontal) of the object wrt stationary observer on the ground =
√ (5² + 12.5²) = 2.5 *√29 m/sec
When the object reaches the ground with initial vertical component of velocity =0, its vertical component = v
v² = u² + 2 g h = 0 + 2 * 10 * 3
Hence,
v = 2 √15 m/sec
The resultant of the horizontal and vertical components is :
√ [ 181.25 + 60 ] = 15.52 m/sec
