A rock is thrown from the roof of a building with a velocity V0 atan angle of a from
the horizontal. The building has height h. You can ignore airresistance. Calculate the magnitude of the velocity of the rockjust before it strikes the ground, and show that this speed isindependent of angle alpha.

How many seconds after being thrown does the rock strike theground?

What is the speed of the rock just before it strikes theground?

A rock is thrown from the top edge of a 100-ft tall building at some unknown angle above the horizontal. The rock strikes the ground a horizontal distance of 160 ft from the base of the building 5.0 s after being thrown. Assume that the ground is level and that the side of the building is vertical. Determine the speed with which the rock was thrown. [Hint: Choose an origin of coordinates and decide which directions are positive. Use a constant-acceleration equation for the x and y directions separately. Solve them to find the components of the initial velocity and hence the speed. You do not need to solve for the angle (although you can).]
