Answer:

The answer is 6.40 meters.

Explanation:

The speed v = √(2gh)

v = √( 2×9.8×6.4) = 11.2 m/s

After, finding the time it takes to hit the ground from a height of 1.6 meters.

time = √(2H÷g)

time = √(2×1.6÷9.8)

time = 0.5714 seconds.

Horizontal distance is speed × time = 11.2 × 0.5714 = 6.40 meters.

Answer:

3.71 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum, since we are neglecting minor energy losses due to friction then we can express it as $mgh=0.5mv^{2}$ since all the potential energy is transformed to kinetic energy

Making v the subject of the formula then $v=\sqrt {2gh}$ and here m is the mass of the block, g is acceleration due to gravity, h is the height. Substituting 0.7 m for h and 9.81 for g then we obtain that $v=\sqrt {2\times 9.81\times 0.7}=3.705941176 m/s\approx 3.71 m/s$
