Question

A mountain climber stands at the top of a
57.3 m cliff hanging over a calm pool of water.
The climber throws two stones vertically 1.8
s apart and observes that they cause a single
splash when they hit the water. The first
stone has an initial velocity of +2.2 m/s.
Find the velocity of the first stone at the
instant both stones hit the water. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s
2
.
Answer in units of m/s.

How long after the release of the first stone
will the two stones hit the water?
Answer in units of s.

What is the initial velocity of the second
stone?
Answer in units of m/s.

Find the velocity of the second stone at the
instant both stones hit the water.
Answer in units of m/s.
