Question
tourist throws a rock horizontally off the edge
of a high cliff, with an initial velocity of lo m.s!
a) Taking the y-axis to be upward, write equa-
tions for the x- and y. coordinates as functions
of time.
b) Calculate the values of x and y at times
t=0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 S
c) Write equations for the x and y components
of the rock's velocity.
d) Find the magnitude and direction of the
velocity at time to los. Is the velocity tangent
to the trajectory?
