First, calculate how long the ball is in midair. This will depend only on the vertical displacement; once the ball hits the ground, projectile motion is over. Since the ball is thrown horizontally, it originally has no vertical speed. 
t = time vi = initial vertical speed = 0m/s g = gravity = -9.8m/s^2 y = vertical displacement = -45m 
y = .5gt^2 [Basically, in this equation we see how long it takes the ball to fall 45m] -45m = .5 (-9.8m/s^2) * t^2 t = 3.03 s 
Now we know that the ball is midair for 3.03s. Since horizontal speed is constant we can simply use: 
x = horizontal displacement v = horizontal speed = 25m/s t = time = 3.03s 
x = v*t x = 25m/s * 3.03s = 75.76 m Thus, the ball goes about 75 or 76 m from the base of the cliff.

2) Why do you think fossil fueled cars are still out numbering alternative and replacement fueled cars even though fossil fuels
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Fossil-fueled cars are still outnumbering the alternative and replacement-fueled cars because they are generally cost-effective and are efficient.

Explanation:

<em>Fossil fuels</em> are non-renewable energy that cannot be replenished. Although many people know how harmful using them can be to the environment, still, people continue to buy cars that are powered by it. This is because, <em>using fossil-fueled cars can help you save money</em> compared to using<em> replacement-fueled cars.</em><em> Its engines are also more powerful,</em> which means they can arrive at their destination in just a few minutes. <u>This makes it efficient.</u> The cost of maintaining a fossil-fueled car is less expensive compared to<em> replacement-fueled cars.</em> People are naturally keen when it comes to budgeting, thus, many people still buy cars powered by fossil fuels.
