- (a) A soccer player kicks a rock horizontally off a 31 m high cliff into a pool of water. If the player hears the sound of the splash 2.67 s later, what was the initial speed given to the rock (in m/s)? Assume the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. 273.73 X You appear to have correctly calculated the distance the rock travels, but you have then used the wrong time to calculate the horizontal speed. m/s (b) What If? If the temperature near the cliff suddenly falls to 0°C, reducing the speed of sound to 331 m/s, what would the initial speed of the rock have to be (in m/s) for the soccer player to hear the sound of the splash 2.67 s after kicking the rock? m/sarrow_forwardIf you drop an object from a specific height, it takes 0.84 seconds to hit the ground.(a) If you throw a baseball horizontally with an initial speed of 22 m/s from the same height, how long will it take the baseball to hit the ground?arrow_forwardA tiger leaps horizontally out of a tree that is 4.30 m high.

- At a long distance shooting match, a bullet is fired with a muzzle velocity of 3000 feet per second from a rifle held in the horizontal position. When fired the sights of the rifle was dead center of a target. The bullet strikes the target at 4.00 ft below the center of the target. How long (in seconds) did it take for the bullet to reach the target? How far away (in unit of yards) was the target? Neglect any air resistance to the bullet. Make a simple sketch. Make a list of all given values, units, and the variables they represent. write the general form of the equation you are going to use. Insert the known values and solve.
