To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations. From the definition of the final velocity, as the sum between the initial velocity and the product between the acceleration (gravity) by time, we will find the final velocity. From the second law of kinematics, we will find the vertical position traveled.

Here,
v = Final velocity
= Initial velocity
g = Acceleration due to gravity
t = Time
At t = 4s, v = -30m/s (Downward)
Therefore the initial velocity will be


Now the position can be calculated as,

When it has the ground, y=0 and the time is t=4s,


Therefore the cliff was initially to 41.6m from the ground
Answer:
Force, F = 44 N
Explanation:
Given that,
Initial speed of the football, u = 0
Final speed, v = 15 m/s
The time of contact of the ball, t = 0.15 s
The mass of football, m = 0.44 kg
We need to find the average force exerted on the ball. It is given by the formula as :

So, the average force exerted on the ball is 44 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
0.83 m/s
Explanation:
FIrst of all, we have to find the time of flight, i.e. the time the baseball needs to reach the ground. This can be done by using the equation for the vertical motion:

where
h is the initial height
u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity
g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity
t is the time
Substituting h = 1.8 m and solving for t,

We know that the horizontal distance travelled by the ball is
d = 0.5 m
Therefore, we can find the horizontal velocity (which is constant during the whole motion):

Our planet is closed system because there is a limit of how much matter could be exchanged.
