Answer:

option A

Explanation:

given,

height of the cliff = 20 m

initial speed = 10 m/s

distance from the edge of the base of the cliff  = ?

now,

time taken to cover vertical distance

initial vertical speed = 0 m/s

using equation of motion

s = u t + \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

s =\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{g}}

t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 20}{9.8}}

  t = 2 s

in same time the ball will travel horizontal distance

horizontal velocity of ball = 10 m/s

distance = s x t

d = 10 x 2

d = 20 m

Hence, the correct answer is option A
