Answer:
The velocity of the hay bale is - 0.5 ft/s and the acceleration is 
Solution:
As per the question:
Constant velocity of the horse in the horizontal, 
Distance of the horse on the horizontal axis, x = 10 ft
Vertical distance, y = 20 ft
Now,
Apply Pythagoras theorem to find the length:


Now,
(1)
Differentiating equation (1) w.r.t 't':


where
= Rate of change of displacement along the horizontal
= Rate of change of displacement along the vertical
= velocity along the x-axis.
= velocity along the y-axis



Acceleration of the hay bale is given by the kinematic equation:
