A little girl throws her Jackstone ball horizontally on the window in the velocity at 30m/s if the window is 3m above the ground level how far will the ball travel before it hits the ground
  (Physics: Body Launched Horizontally)

Step 1: Write the given
- Initial velocity is 30 meter per sec
 - Angle is 0° since the jackstone ball is thrown horizontally
 - The window is 3 meters above the ground
 
Step 2: Determine the formula that will be utilized
- Since there is x and y component, then the jackstone ball is in projectile motion.
 - The projectile is assumed ideal since there is no air resistance.
 - The jackstone ball is thrown horizontally and makes zero degrees with respect to horizontal (theta is equal to 0 degrees).
 - At x component: velocity is constant at any time t
 - At y component: gravity serves as the acceleration like that of free-fall
 - An equation relating x,y, theta, and velocity is: 
 
Step 3: Find the distance the ball will travel horizontally before it hits the ground
- change in y or height is equal to -3 (initial height=3 meters and final height is 0 meters which is at the ground)
 - tan (theta) * x is equal to 0 since tan 0 is equal to 0
 - gravity is equal to 9.81 meter per square second
 - cos(0) is equal to 1
 - The equation will be: 
 - The distance the jackstone ball will travel horizontally is equal to 23.46 meters.
 
Therefore, the jackstone ball will travel 23.46 meters horizontally before it hits the ground.
