A ball is launched horizontally at 150 m/s from a cliff.

The vertical velocity of the ball changes during the projectile motion.

On the other hand, the horizontal velocity of the ball is constant and remains the same until the ball hits the ground.

This means that the horizontal velocity of the ball is still 150 m/s after 5 seconds.

Therefore, 150 m/s is the correct answer.
