A girl throws a rock horizontally, with a velocity of 10 m/s, from a bridge.  It falls 20 m to the water below.  How far does the rock travel horizontally before striking the water?

A stone is released from rest from the edge of a building roof 190 m above the ground. Neglecting air resistance, the speed of the stone, just before striking the ground, is:
