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 = 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.

Irina, standing on the edge of a cliff, throws a stone at a 40-degree angle above the horizontal with an initial speed of 10.0 m/s. The instant before the stone hits the ground below, it is traveling at a speed of 63 m/s.

Ignore any effects of air resistance
