Horizontal Projectile Motion C4U

A ball rolls with a speed of 2.0 m/s across a level table that is 1.0 m above the floor. Upon reaching the edge of the table, it follows a parabolic path to the floor.

How far along the floor is the landing spot from the table?

An astronaut stands on the edge of a lunar crater and throws a half-eaten Twinkie™ horizontally with a velocity of 5.00 m/s. The floor of the crater is 100.0 m below the astronaut.

What horizontal distance will the Twinkie™ travel before hitting the floor of the crater? (The acceleration of gravity on the moon is 1/6th that of the Earth).
