Complete Question
A baseball is thrown horizontally with an initial speed of 10 m/s from the edge of a cliff. A stop watch measures the ball's time in the air until it hits the ground to be 4.3 s. How far does the baseball travel horizontally?
Answer:
The distance covered horizontally is [tex]d = 43 \ m[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The initial horizontal velocity is [tex]u = 10 \ m/s[/tex]
The time taken by the ball in the air is [tex]t = 4.3 \ s[/tex]
Generally the distance traveled by the ball is
[tex]d = u * t[/tex]
=> [tex]d = 10 * 4.3[/tex]
=> [tex]d = 43 \ m[/tex]
