ANSWER

Given,

v

0y

=10m/s

v

0x

=30m/s

g=10m/s

2

In projectile motion, for solving the total distance traveled by the ball horizontally, have to calculate the total time to cover going up and landing down by the given equation,

y=v

0y

t+

+y

0

at the point where it lands, y=0

0=10t+

1

(−10)t

2

0=t(10−5t)

t=0,2sec

The total horizontal distance covered by the tennis ball is given by

x=v

0x

t

x=30×2

x=60m

The correct option is D.
