Answer:
0.96 m
Explanation:
First, convert km/h to m/s.
162.3 km/h × (1000 m/km) × (1 hr / 3600 s) = 45.08 m/s
Now find the time it takes to move 20 m horizontally.
Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²
20 m = (45.08 m/s) t + ½ (0 m/s²) t²
t = 0.4436 s
Finally, find how far the ball falls in that time.
Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²
Δy = (0 m/s) (0.4436 s) + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) (0.4436 s)²
Δy = -0.96 m
The ball will have fallen 0.96 meters.
