A cannonball is fired perfectly horizontally from the top of a 210 m tall cliff. It is fired with an initial velocity of 50 m/s. What is the horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground?

the horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is 327.5 m

Explanation:

Given;

height of the cliff, h = 210 m

initial horizontal velocity of the cannonball, Ux = 50 m/s

initial vertical velocity of the cannonball, Uy = 0

The time for the cannonball to reach the ground is calculated as;

The horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is calculated as;

Therefore, the horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is 327.5 m
