3 A ball is projected horizontally with speed \(5 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) from the top of a tower which is 30 m high. The tower stands on horizontal ground.
  1. Find the speed and direction of motion of the ball when it reaches the ground.
  2. Calculate the distance from the foot of the tower to the point where the ball reaches the ground.
