Answer #1

(a) How much later does it reach the bottom of the cliff?

using equation of motion (ii), we have

y = y0 + v0 t + (1/2) g t2

where, v0 = initial velocity of stone = 12.5 m/s

y0 = initial height of stone from top of the cliff = 0

y = final height of stone = - 75 m

g = acceleration due to gravity = - 9.8 m/s2

then, we get

- (75 m) = (0) + (12.5 m/s) - (0.5) (9.8 m/s2) t2

(4.9 m/s2) t2 - (12.5 m/s) t - (75 m) = 0

From quadratic equation, we get

t = - b \pm (\sqrt{}b2 - 4 a c) / 2a

t = - (-12.5 m/s) \pm [\sqrt{}(-12.5 m/s)2 - 4 (4.9 m/s2) (-75 m)] / [(2) (4.9 m/s2)]

t \approx - 2.83947 sec    OR    t = 5.39049 sec

t = - 2.84 sec           OR     t = 5.40 sec

(b) What is its speed just before hitting?

using equation of motion (i), we have

v = v0 + g t

v = (12.5 m/s) - (9.8 m/s2) (5.40 s)

v = (12.5 m/s) - (52.92 m/s)

v = - 40.4 m/s

(c) What total distance did it travel?

using equation of motion (iii), we have

vf2 = v02 + 2 g d

(0)2 = (12.5 m/s)2 - 2 (9.8 m/s2) d                                                 

d = [(156.25 m2/s2) / (19.6 m/s2)]

d = 7.97 m

Then, we get

Dtotal = 2 d + y

Dtotal = [(15.94 m) + (75 m)]

Dtotal = 90.94 m

Dtotal\approx 91 m
