Question
]=An inquisitive physics student and mountain climber climbs a 55.0-m-high cliff that overhangs a calm pool of water. He throws two stones vertically downward, 1.00 s apart, and observes that they cause a single splash. The first stone has an initial speed of 2.20 m/s.
(a) How long after release of the first stone do the two stones hit the water?
s
(b) What initial velocity must the second stone have if the two stones are to hit the water simultaneously?
(c) What is the speed of each stone at the instant the two stones hit the water?

- Two 47. identical pellet guns are fired simultaneously from the edge of a cliff. These guns impart an initial speed of 30.0 m/s to each pellet. Gun A is fired straight upward, with the pellet going up and then falling back down, eventually hitting the ground beneath the cliff. Gun B is fired straight downward. In the absence of air resistance, how long after pellet B hits the ground does pellet A hit the ground? 48. mmh An astronaut on a distant planet wants to determine its accel- eration due to gravity.
