Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
Find out how long the vertical velocity and accel cause the rock to ground out....then multiply this time by the horizontal speed....then use pythag theorem for the TOTAL distance
df = do + vo t + 1/2 a t^2 df = final height = 0 do = original = 1.6 m
v o = original velocity = 0 accel = - 9.81 m/s^2
0 = 1.6 + 0 + 1/2 ( - 9.8)(t^2) shows t = .5714 seconds to hit the ground
horizontal distance = .5711 seconds * 41 m/s = 23.43 m
vertical distance = 1.6 m
TOTAL distance = sqrt (( 23.42)^2 + (1.6)^2 ) = 23.48 m
If questioner wants horizontal disance <=====use first answer
if Q wants TOTAL distance <====== use second answer
