Suppose an object of mass 5kg is thrown horizontally from the top of a 100m cliff with initial velocity 2m/s, what is the horizontal displacement of the object after it hits the ground? (Air resistance negligible)

Separate vertical and horizontal velocity vectors, calculate vertical acceleration (due to gravity), calculate time before object hits the ground, use time to calculate horizontal distance. Use 'the big three' equations.
