Question

You throw a ball from your window 12.0 m above the ground. When the ball leaves your hand, it is
moving at 20m/s horizontally. How far horizontally from your window will the ball hit the ground?
Ignore air resistance.

Answer 1

Explanation:

By pythagoras theorem,

x sqr = 12 sqr + 20 sqr

x sqr = 144 + 400

x sqr = 544

x = 23.3238076
