A hiker throws a stone from the upper edge of a vertical cliff. The stone's initial velocity is 25.0 m/s directed at 40.0 degrees with the face of the cliff, as shown in the figure. The stone hits the ground 3.75 s after being thrown and feels no appreciable air resistance as it falls.

 

A. What is the height of the cliff?

B. How far from the foot of the cliff does the stone land?

C. How fast is the stone moving just before it hits the ground?

A person stands on a cliff with a vertical height of d= 8m above the level ground and throws a stone with a velocity V0= 16 m/s at an angle theta= 32 degrees below horizontal. the stone moves without air resistance; use a cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the stone's initial position. With what speed, Vf in m/s, does the stone strike the ground?

From the edge of a rooftop of the building, a boy throws astone at an angle of 25.0 degrees above the horizontal. The stonehits the ground 4.20s later, 105 m away from the base of thebuilding. (Ignore air resistance). (a) for the stones path throughthe air, sketch graphs of x, y, Vx, and Vy as functions of time.These need to be only qualitatively correct-- you need not putnumbers on the axes. (b) Find the initial velocity of the stone.(c) Find the initial height H from which the stone was thrown. (d)FInd the maximum height H reached by the stone.

On planet X, you drop a 25.0 kg stone from rest and measure itsspeed at various times. Then you use the data you obtained toconstruct a graph of its speed v as a function of time t. (Thegraph shows a velocity of 15m/s at time 1s and 30 m/s at time2s)
