A)

Given: Vy= 0m/s, Vx=30m/s, h=100m

V1=30 m/s

100m

To calculate for the furthest horizontal distance, we need to find the time it reach the
ground such that: ℎ = 0.5𝑔𝑡 2

2(ℎ) 2(100𝑚)
𝑡=√ = √ = 4.5152 𝑠𝑒𝑐
𝑔 9.81𝑚/𝑠2

After getting the time it reach the ground, we can now solve for the horizontal distance
using the formula: x= Vx (t)

𝑥 = 𝑉𝑥 𝑡 = (30𝑚/𝑠)(4.5152 𝑠) = 135.4571𝑚

B) Since there is no acceleration in the horizontal direction and the acceleration in the
vertical motion is exclusively due to gravity, using the uniform acceleration in scenarios
involving free-fall motion is valid. When the body moves with varying acceleration, the
equation of motion will not be valid.
