Answer:

The answer is 6.40 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed v = √(2gh)

v = √( 2×9.8×6.4) = 11.2 m/s

After, finding the time it takes to hit the ground from a height of 1.6 meters.

time = √(2H÷g)

time = √(2×1.6÷9.8)

time = 0.5714 seconds.

Horizontal distance is speed × time = 11.2 × 0.5714 = 6.40 meters.
