A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a 24.7 m building with a speed of 13.2m/s. Assuming level ground, the ball lands ___ m from the base of the building.

The horizontal distance traveled by the ball is 29.7 m.

Explanation:

Given;

height of the building, h = 24.7 m

initial horizontal velocity, Vₓ = 13.2 m/s

The time taken for the ball to fall from the vertical height is calculated as;

where;

is initial vertical velocity = 0

The horizontal distance traveled by the ball is calculated as;

Therefore, the horizontal distance traveled by the ball is 29.7 m.
