To find the initial velocity of the ball, we can use the equation of motion for horizontal projectile motion:

Dx = Vix * t
Where Dx is horizontal distance,
Vix is the initial horizontal velocity,
t is time.

In this case, the horizontal distance is given as 100 m, and we need to find the initial horizontal velocity.
To find the initial horizontal velocity, we need to find out the time spent first.

We know that the ball was thrown horizontally, which means its initial vertical velocity is zero. The only force acting on the ball in the horizontal direction is the initial velocity.

Given:
Dx = Horizontal distance = 100 m
Dy = Vertical displacement = 24.0 m
Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Using the vertical displacement, we can find the time it takes for the ball to ...
