In a tall building, a certain window is 500 meters above the ground. a tennis ball is catapulted horizontally out of the window with a horizontal initial velocity of 4 m/s. how far from the base of the building will the ball land?

Horizontal speed of the ball is given as

height of the ball is given as

now the time taken by the ball to reach the bottom is given as

now we will plug in all values

now the distance from the base is given as

`

so it will land at distance of 40.4 m

the independent variable, the one that is intentionally manipulated, is whether or not the car hits the barrier.

the dependent variable, the one that you measure the response in, is the distance that the washers travel.
