The car's forward motion is opposed by the friction between the road and the tires and by the resistance of the air.
Answer: 75.02 m
Explanation:
u = 0 ( starts from rest )
v = 50 m/s
t = 3 s
( i ) a = v - u / t
= 50 - 0 /3
= 16.67
( ii ) s = ut + 1/2 at²
= 0 × 3 + 1/2 × 16.67 × 3 × 3
= <u>75.02 m</u>

First, calculate how long the ball is in midair. This will depend only on the vertical displacement; once the ball hits the ground, projectile motion is over. Since the ball is thrown horizontally, it originally has no vertical speed.
t = time vi = initial vertical speed = 0m/s g = gravity = -9.8m/s^2 y = vertical displacement = -45m
y = .5gt^2 [Basically, in this equation we see how long it takes the ball to fall 45m] -45m = .5 (-9.8m/s^2) * t^2 t = 3.03 s
Now we know that the ball is midair for 3.03s. Since horizontal speed is constant we can simply use:
x = horizontal displacement v = horizontal speed = 25m/s t = time = 3.03s
x = v*t x = 25m/s * 3.03s = 75.76 m Thus, the ball goes about 75 or 76 m from the base of the cliff.
