Complete Question

A baseball is thrown horizontally with an initial speed of 10 m/s from the edge of a cliff. A stop watch measures the ball's time in the air until it hits the ground to be 4.3 s. How far does the baseball travel horizontally?

Answer:

The distance covered horizontally is  $d = 43 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The initial horizontal velocity is  $u = 10 \ m/s$

     The time taken by the ball in the air is  $t = 4.3 \ s$

Generally the distance traveled by the ball is  

       $d = u * t$

=>     $d = 10 * 4.3$

=>     $d = 43 \ m$
