Presumably, the ball is kicked parallel to the ground below the cliff, so its altitude <em>y</em> at time <em>t</em> is
where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity.
The ball hits the ground when <em>y</em> = 0:
It would be not be able to move yet it would be in the air
It will be 80 miles and it can be done only in 16 min
Solution1:
0.25 min = 15 secs
a = (v - ) / t
v = 0 (stops to rest), t = 15
⇒ a = -/15
x = t + a
⇒ 10.5 = * 15 + * * 225
10.5 = * 15 -
10.5 = * 7.5
= 1.4 (m/s)
⇒ a = - (m/s^2)
Solution2:
