Equations of motion — practice question

A boy launches a stone horizontally at $10\,\text{m s}^{-1}$ from the roof of a building. The building is $8.0\,\text{m}$ high. The stone follows a curved trajectory before landing on the ground, as shown in the diagram. How long does it take the stone to reach the ground? (Air resistance can be neglected.)

  • A$0.61\,\text{s}$
  • B$0.80\,\text{s}$
  • C$1.3\,\text{s}$
  • D$1.6\,\text{s}$
