Do not include the units. Round off all answers to two decimal places. Do not forget the negative sign (-) if needed. Dominador, who is standing on the edge of an 80-m tall cliff facing the sea, kicks a ball horizontally at a speed of 13.01 m/s. How far from the base of the cliff will the ball hit the sea water? Let y=0 be the initial vertical position of the ball, with positive position in the upward direction. The vertical displacement of the ball from the edge of the cliff to the seawater is: Ay = meters. The time it takes for the ball to reach the seawater is: t = seconds. The horizontal distance traveled by the ball is: Ax = meters.arrow_forward
