a stone is thrown horizontally with an initial speed of 10 m/s from a bridge. Assuming that air resistance is negligible, how long would it take the stone to strike water 80 m below the bridge?

The stone falls downwards with gravity, regardless of its horizontal movement.
\(freefall:\\v=gt\\s=\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\\v=\sqrt{2gh}\)
\(g=9.81m/sec^2\\h=80m\\\color{blue}t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}\)
\(t=\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot 80m}{9.81m/sec^2}}\)
\(t=4.04\ sec\)
