Hi there!
We can begin by deriving the equation for how long the ball takes to reach the bottom of the cliff.
There is NO initial vertical velocity, so:
Rearrange to solve for time:
Plug in the given height and acceleration due to gravity (g ≈ 9.8 m/s²)
Now, use the following for finding the HORIZONTAL distance using its horizontal velocity:
Earlier, we stated Newton's first law as “A body at rest remains at rest or, if in motion, remains in motion at constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force.” It can also be stated as “Every body remains in its state of uniform motion in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by forces
For example-A stationary object with no outside force will not move. With no outside forces, a moving object will not stop. An astronaut who has their screwdriver knocked into space will see the screwdriver continue on at the same speed and direction forever.
Answer:
b. is the correct answer ....
