For the previous example of the out of control bus which is forced to jump from a location $\langle 0,40,-5 \rangle$ with an initial velocity of $\langle 80,7,-5 \rangle$. We have now found the time of flight to be 9.59s and now want to find where the bus returns to the ground?

* Starting position of the bus $\langle 0,40,-5 \rangle$

* Initial velocity of the bus $\langle 80,7,-5 \rangle$

* The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 $\dfrac{m}{s^2}$ and is directed downward.

* The bus experiences one force - the gravitational force (directly down).

* The bus takes 9.59s to reach the ground

* The final position of the bus.

* Assume no drag effects

* Assume ground is when position of bus is 0 in the y direction

Diagram of situation.

Equation for calculating the final position of an object.

$$x_f = x_i + V_{avg,x} \Delta{t}$$

From the previous problem you already know the final location of the ball in the y direction to be 0 as it has met the ground after 9.59s.

Now to find the range in the x and z directions:

$$x_f = x_i + V_{avg,x} \Delta{t}$$

$$= 0 + 80m/s(9.59s)$$

$$= 767m$$

$$z_f = z_i + V_{avg,z} \Delta{t}$$

$$= -5 + -5m/s(9.59s)$$

$$= -52.95$$

Final position = $\langle 767,0,-52.95 \rangle$ m
