Answer:

Explanation:

To calculate the time it took the car to hit the ground, we use the formula

speed = distance/time

80 m/s = 300 m/time

time = 300/80

time = 3.75 secs

It must have taken the car 3.75 seconds to hit the ground

To determine the horizontal distance of the car before hitting the ground, the same formula will also be used but with the time obtained above (since that was the time it took before hitting the ground)

speed = distance/time

80 = distance/3.75

distance = 3.75 x 80

distance = 300 meters
