The y-component of the stone's velocity when it is 8 m below the hand is 14.86 m / s
v² = u² + 2 a s
s = Displacement
u = Initial velocity
a = Acceleration
u = 8 m / s
s = 8 m
v² = 8² + 2 * 9.8 * 8
v² = 64 + 156.8
v = √ 220.8
v = 14.86 m / s
The equation used to solve the problem is an equation of motion. These equations are designed to locate an object in motion using components such as velocity, displacement, acceleration and time.
Therefore, the y-component of the stone's velocity is 14.86 m / s
