Answer:
24.2 m/s
Explanation:
The stone strikes the ground at an angle of 45 degrees: this means that its vertical velocity is equal (in magnitude) to its horizontal velocity, in fact:
The motion along the vertical direction is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can find the final vertical velocity using the following suvat equation
where
is the final vertical velocity
is the initial vertical velocity (zero because the stone is thrown horizontally)
is the acceleration of gravity (we take downward as positive direction)
s = 30 m is the vertical displacement
Solving for vy,
This means that the horizontal velocity is also 24.2 m/s: and since the horizontal velocity is constant during the whole motion (there is no acceleration in the horizontal direction), this means that the stone was thrown exactly at 24.2 m/s.
