horizontal ....m from the launch position
vertical ....m from the ground

With no initial vertical velocity component, it hits the ground after time T given by
78.4 = (g/2) T^2
T = 4.00 s
It's horizontal location is the initial (horizontal) velocity muliplied by that time. It does not move after that.
