A rock is thrown off a cliff with a horizontal velocity of 18.3 m/s. Right before it hits the ground, it has a vertical velocity

of -31.3 m/s. What is the magnitude of the rock's overall velocity?

Answer: 36.257 m/s

Explanation:

The vertical and horizontal components of a projectiles motion are completely independent of each other. The only thing they share is the amount of time in the air. Because they are independent, the acceleration of gravity cannot affect the horizontal acceleration. This means horizontal acceleration is 0. If the acceleration is 0, this means the velocity does not change horizontally. So the final velocity of the x component is equal to the initial.

Now if you actually imagine these two vectors, it forms a right triangle. So you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the resultant vector.

a^2+b^2=c^2\\18.3^2+(-31.3)^2 = c^2\\c = 36.257 m/s

Molodets [167]

If the resistance of the Air is ignored, we can use the theory given by Galileo in which he warned that the thermal velocity of a body in free fall was given by

v= \frac{1}{2}gt

Where

g = Gravitational acceleration

t = time

As we can see the speed of objects in free fall is indifferent to the position that is launched (as long as the resistance of the air is ignored) or its mass.

Both bodies will end with the same thermal speed.

Final velocity will be greater than initial velocity of an object is
Natali [406]

Answer:

accelerating

Explanation:

If we consider(v > u) Acceleration:

final velocity(v)= 14m/s

initial velocity(u)=10m/s

time taken(t)= 2 seconds

a= \frac{(v-u)}{t} =\frac{(14-10)}{2}=2m/s²

If we consider (v<u) Deceleration:

final velocity(v)= 3m/s

initial velocity(u)=9m/s

time taken(t)=2 seconds

a= \frac{(v-u)}{t}=\frac{(3-9)}{2}= -3m/s²
