Answer:

  78.1 m/s

Explanation:

The time it takes to fall from 252 meters above the ground is about ...

  252 = 4.9t^2

  √(252/4.9) = t = 7.1714  . . .  seconds

Then the horizontal speed is ...

  speed = distance/time

  speed = 560 m/(7.1714 s) = 78.088 m/s

The horizontal speed is about 78.1 m/s.
