- A student standing on a cliff that is a vertical height d = 8.0 m above the level ground throws a stone with velocity v0 = 23 m/s at an angle θ = 16 ° below horizontal. The stone moves without air resistance; use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the stone's initial position. A) With what speed, vf in meters per second, does the stone strike the ground? B) If the stone had been thrown from the clifftop with the same initial speed and the same angle, but above the horizontal, would its impact velocity be different? If the stone had been thrown from the clifftop with the same initial speed and the same angle, but above the horizontal, would its impact velocity be different?arrow_forwardA student standing on a cliff that is a vertical height d = 8.0 m above the level ground throws a stone with velocity v0 = 25 m/s at an angle θ = 17 ° 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 meters per second, does the stone strike the ground? Recall that the ball will have a final velocity along the y-axis and the x-axis and these components need to be added together with the Pythagorean theorem in order to find the resultant velocity.arrow_forwardChinook salmon can cover more distance in less time by periodically making jumps out of the water. Suppose a salmon swimming in still water jumps out of the water with velocity 6.03 m/s at 40.6° above the horizontal, re-enters the water a distance L upstream, and then swims the same distance L underwater in a straight, horizontal line with velocity 2.92 m/s before jumping out again. Where L=3.67 m; t1= 0.801 sec this is a time when fish are over the water; t2= 1.256 sec; Ttotal =2.057 sec; the average horizontal velocity is 3.57 m/s. Consider the interval of time necessary to travel 2L. How is this reduced by the combination of jumping and swimming compared with just swimming at the constant speed of 2.92 m/s? Express the reduction as a percentage.arrow_forward
