Answer:
Height of cliff = S = 20 m (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
Initial velocity = 8 m/s
Distance s = 16 m
Starting acceleration (a) = 0
Computation:
s = ut + 1/2a(t)²
16 = 8t
t = 2 sec
Height of cliff = S
Gravitational acceleration = 10 m/s
S = 1/2a(t)²
S = 1/2(10)(2)²
Height of cliff = S = 20 m (Approx)
Explanation:
Below is an attachment containing the solution.
Answer:

Explanation:
By conservation of the linear momentum:
m1*V1 = (m1+m2)*V2
Solving for V2:

The kinetic energies are:



Simplifying:

The ratio will be:
