12. A boy kicks a rock off a cliff with a speed of 15.6 m/s at an angle of 52.3° above the horizontal. The rock hits the ground 5.82 s after it was kicked.
(12b) What is the speed of the rock right before it hits the ground?
(12c) What is the maximum height of the rock in the air, measured from the top of the cliff?
Please answer both b) and c).
Solution) initial velocity , Vo = 15.6 m/s
Angle (theeta) = 52.3°
Time t = 5.82 s
(b) speed of the rock right before it hits the ground , Vf = ?
Velocity along horizontal direction , Vh = (Vo)cos(theeta)
Vh = 15.6cos(52.3) = 9.54 m/s
Velocity along vertical direction , Vv = (Vo)sin(theeta)
Vv = 15.6sin(52.3) = 12.34 m/s
Along vertical direction
Vfy = ((Vo)sin(theeta))(t) - gt
Vfy = (15.6sin(52.3))(5.82) - 9.8×5.82 = 14.8 m/s
Along horizontal direction
Vfx = ((Vo)cos(theeta))(t) - at
In horizontal direction acceleration a = 0
Vfx = (15.6cos(52.3))(5.82)
Vfx = 55.52 m/s
Vf^2 = Vfx^2 + Vfy^2
Vf^2 = (55.52^2) + (14.8^2)
Vf^2 = 3301.51
Vf = (3301.51)^(1/2)
Vf = 57.45 m/s
(c) Maximum height , H = ?
We have ,
Vy^2 = (Voy)^2 - 2gd
At maximum height final velocity Vy = 0
0 = (Vosin(theeta))^2 - 2gd
d = (Vosin(theeta))^2/(2g)
d = ((15.6sin(52.3))^2)/(2×9.8)
d = 7.77 m
Maximum height measured from top of the cliff , H = d = 7.77 m
H = 7.77 m
A soccer player kicks a rock horizontally off a 40.0 m high cliff into a pool of water. If the player hears the sound of the splash 2.98 s later, what was the initial speed given to the rock? Assume the speed of sound in air to be 343 m/s. a)______m/s

A rock is thrown off a cliff at an angle of 51° above the horizontal. The cliff is 130 m high. The initial speed of the rock is 20 m/s. (Assume the height of the thrower is negligible.) (a) How high above the edge of the cliff does the rock rise (in m)? (b) How far has it moved horizontally when it is at maximum altitude (in m)? (c) How long after the release does it hit the ground (in s)? (d) What is...
A rock is thrown off a cliff at a velocity of 15m/s and at an angle of 35 degrees. It lands 200 meters away. What was the height of the cliff? What was the velocity right before it landed?
27. A rock is thrown with a velocity of 10 m/s from the edge of a cliff that is a height of 40 m above level ground. Neglect air resistance. In order for the rock to travel a maximum horizontal distance from the cliff before hitting the ground, what angle should the rock be thrown?
Zero Launch Angle - Car Drives Off a Cliff A car drives straight off the edge of a cliff that is h =40 m high. The police at the scene of the accident note that the point of impact is d =86 m from the base of the cliff. Here the initial speed v0 is unknown. Ignore air resistance. The magnitude of the gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s2. Choose the RIGHT as positive x-direction. Choose UPWARD as positive y-direction. A....
