A stone is thrown horizontally with an initial speed of 14.3 m/s from the edge of a
cliff. An observer with a stopwatch measures the stone's flight time from the top
of the cliff to the bottom and finds that it takes 1.96 s. If the effects of air
resistance are negligible, what is the height of the cliff?
A ball is thrown downward from the top of a 30.0 m tower with an initial speed of 15.0 m/s. Assuming negligible air resistance, what is the speed of the ball just before hitting the ground?

Yes, No   Â
(b) If so, what is its speed at the top? If not, what initial speed must it have to reach the top? m/s(c) Find the change in speed of a rock thrown straight down from the top of the wall at an initial speed of 8.40 m/s and moving between the same two points. m/s(d) Does the change in speed of the downward-moving rock agree with the magnitude of the speed change of the rock moving upward between the same elevations?

You may ignore air resistance. If the height of the building is 20.4 m, what must the initial speed be of the first ball if both are to hit the ground at the same time? Consider the same situation, but now let the initial speed v0 of the first ball be given and treat the height h of the building as an unknown. What must the height of the building be for both balls to reach the ground at the same time for v0 = 8.50 m/s. If v0 is greater than some value vmax, a value of h does not exist that allows both balls to hit the ground at the same time. Solve for vmax. If v0 is less than some value vmin, a value of h does not exist that allows both balls to hit the ground at the same time. Solve for vmin.arrow_forwardA juggler throws a bowling pin straight up with an initial speed of 8.3 m/s from an initial height of 1 m.
