The velocity of the rock when it hits the ground.
Answer to Problem 6PP
The velocity of the rock while hitting the ground is
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
A rock is thrown from the top of cliff.
The height of the cliff is
The initial velocity of the of the stone is
The angle of inclination of throw is
Formula used:
The free body diagram of throwing of stone from the top of the cliff as shown below:
Refer the Figure.
Consider the horizontal and vertical component of initial velocity are
Find the horizontal component of the initial velocity as follows:
Find the vertical component of the initial velocity as follows:
Apply Equation of kinematics,
Find the magnitude of the velocity as follows:
Calculation:
Consider the value of the acceleration due to gravity as
Find the direction of the velocity
Conclusion:
Thus, the velocity of the rock while hitting the ground is
