Question

The cliffs at Acapulco are 35 m above the water, but the rocks at the base of the cliff extend out 5 m from the base of the cliff.  How fast must they be moving to clear the rocks?  How long are they in the air?

Use the formulas in the picture please.

 

Projectile Motion, Constant Accel. Formulas
X components (horizontal):
projectile:
Vx =Vx0 + a,t
X = X, + Vxot + ½ a,t?
v,? = V,0² + 2a,(x-x)
Vy =Vx0
X
X = X, + Vxot
v,? = v,
%D
2
x0
Y components (vertical):
projectile:
Vy = Vyo + a,t
y = yo + Vyot + ½ a,t²
v, = v,² + 2a,(y-y.)
Vy = Vyo - gt
y = yo + Vyot - ½ gt?
v, = v,² -
2g(y-yo)
= V.
= V.
