A rocket powered toy car is released from rest at the edge of a table whose surface is 3.0 m above the ground. The mass of the car is 1.0 kg and the thrust from the rocket is oriented horizontally and provides 3.0N of force. Ignore friction from the table. How far does the car travel in the horizontal direction before it hits the ground. (Assume the orientation of the car does not change as it flies through the air.)

With a free body diagram that also shows newton's 2nd law

A rocket powered toy car is released from rest at the edge of a table whose surface is 3.0 m
above the ground. The mass of the car is 1.0 kg and the thrust from the rocket is oriented
horizontally and provides 3.0N of force. Ignore friction from the table. How far does the car
travel in the horizontal direction before it hits the ground. (Assume the orientation of the car
does not change as it flies through the air.)
