Question

A student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of 

v0 = 15.0 m/s.

 The cliff is h = 36.0 m above a flat, horizontal beach.

(a) What are the coordinates of the initial position of the stone?

x0:

y0

(b) What are the components of the initial velocity?

v0x:

v0y

(c) Write the equations for the x- and y-components of the velocity of the stone with time. (Use the following as necessary: t. Let the variable t be measured in seconds. Do not include units in your answer.)

vx:

vy

(d) Write the equations for the position of the stone with time, using the coordinates in the figure. (Use the following as necessary: t. Let the variable t be measured in seconds. Do not state units in your answer.)

x=

y=

(e) How long after being released does the stone strike the beach below the cliff?

(f) With what speed and angle of impact does the stone land?

vf=

0-: (theta):
