No, this is an example of projectile motion. You should throw it at 45 degrees from the horizontal ground for it to have the maximum horizontal distance. This is because a sufficient height must be achieved, so that the ball can stay in the air longer and thus travel a longer distance while in flight.

A ball is thrown horizontally from a window on the second floor of a building What is the vertical component of its initial velocity?
If a ball is thrown horizontally from a window on the second floor of a building, the vertical component of its initial velocity is zero.
If a rock is dropped and a ball is thrown horizontally at the same initial elevation Which will have the greater speed when it reaches ground level?
at what q from the horizontal should be threw a rock so that it has greatest range
In the absence of air resistance at what other angle will a thrown ball go the same distance as one thrown at an angle of 75 degrees?
The answer is 45 degrees. If given the same velocity, and thrown at say...10 degrees, to the ground, then the distance it would travel is the same as the distance it would travel if it were thrown 80 degrees. Complementary angles end up at the same distance horizontally.
A rock is dropped at the same instant that a ball in the same elevation is thrown horizontally which will have the greater speed when it reaches ground level?
They will both have the same speed because the will hit the ground at the same time, due to vertical velocity.
