Correct answer: 100
- Horizontal projectile formula
For a body thrown horizontally with speed from height :
- Time to reach ground is
- Horizontal distance is
- First body
Given:
- horizontal speed
- height
- range
So,
- Second body
Given:
- mass (mass does not affect projectile motion)
- horizontal speed
- height
Time of flight:
Horizontal distance:
Using equation (1),
- Final answer
The second body touches the ground at a distance of
