A soccer ball is kicked horizontally at 15 m/s from a cliff 10 meters above the ground how far from the cliff does it land?

Use an xy chart

find time first

t=1.42s

So

x=21 m

(1) The person is traveling in the positive direction for 20 s at a constant velocity of 0.75 m/s. They travel from 0 m to 15 m at that velocity. (2) The person stands still at 15 m for 10 s. Their velocity is 0 m/s because they are not moving. (3) The person then continues in the positive direction at a constant velocity of 1 m/s. They travel from 15 m to 25 m.
