a body is projected horizontally with a velocity of 80m/s from the top of a tower 160m above the ground. find the time of flight,range,velocity at which the body strikes the ground

Vertical problem is falls 160 meters with no initial vertical speed, time same as a rock falling
so
a = -9.81 m/s^2
v = 0 - 9.81 t
0 = 160 + 0 t - (1/2)(9.81)t^2
so
t = sqrt (320/4.9) = 8.08 seconds falling
Now horizontal
no horizontal force so no change in horizontal speed
u = 80 m/s
d = 80 m/s * 8.08 s
about 646 meters on earth
the final velocity is the square root
... of the sum of the squares of the horizontal and vertical components

horizontal = 80 m/s

vertical = g * flight time ... or √(2 * g * 160)
I dont no.
