a) It will take 4 seconds to reach the bottom of the cliffb) The stone strike at a distance of 20 m from the bottom of the cliffWhat is equation of motion?It is an equation that describe the behavior of a physical system in terms of its motion as a function of timeusing equation of motionsince, it is thrown initial horizontally at a speed of = 5m/sinitial vertical velocity = 0 s = u t + 1/2g(t^2)78.4 = 1/2 * 9.8 * (t^2)t^2 = (78.4 *2)/9.8t = (16)^(1/2)t= 4seca) It will take 4 seconds to reach the bottom of the cliffb) distance from the base of cliff stone strike = horizontal velocity * time                                                                                5 m/s * 4 second                                                                                 20 mhence , the stone strike at a distance of 20 m from the bottom of the clifflearn more about equation of  motion https://brainly.com/question/13514745?referrer=searchResults#SPJ2

Suggested Answer

A) t=?h = v1(y direction) *t +1/2 g*tt78.4=0 *t + 1/2*9.8*tt78.4 = 0+ 4.9 tttt=t(squqre) =78.4/4.9 =16so t = sqrt16 =4 sec. the time needed to hit the ground.B) how far =x =? x =v(horizontal) *t =5*4 =20 m.
