    First calculate the time it would take for the crate to fall using the formula:

    h = v0 t + 0.5 g t^2

    110 m = 0 + 0.5 (9.8 m/s^2) t^2

    t = 4.74 s

    The crate is also moving at 46 m/s on with respect to the horizontal surface, therefore distance covered is:

    d = (46 m/s) * 4.74 s

    d = 217.95 m

    The crate would fall 217.95 m from the tail of the car.
