Question

You throw a ball horizontally from the top of a building, with a speed of 3 m/s. In this problem, you can neglect the force of air resistance.

After 2 Seconds, what is the balls horizontal velocity?

A. Impossible to tell

B.Less than 3 m/s

C. 3 m/s

D. 0

E.More than 3 m/s

Answer 1

Option C. 3 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question it is stated that we can neglect the force of air resistance, therefore there is no force acting on the ball horizontally. From Newton's first law of motion an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. thus the ball velocity will remain 3m/s.
