(a) Calculate the height of a cliff if it takes 2.45 s for a rock to hit the ground when thrown straight up from the cliff with

an initial velocity of 8.75 m/s.
(b) How long would it take to reach the ground if it is thrown straight down with the same speed?

An object in free fall motion is under the influence of gravitational force only

The height and time are;

(a) The height of the cliff, h ≈ <u>8.00 meters</u>

(b) The time it takes the rock to rich the ground with the same speed going  downward is approximately <u>0.67</u><u> seconds</u>

The reason the above values are correct are as follows:

The given parameters are;

The time it takes for the rock to hit the ground when thrown straight up from the cliff, t = 2.45 s

The initial velocity with which the rock is thrown, u = 8.75 m/s

(a) To find the height of the cliff

Solution

The kinematic equation of motion is s = y₀ + u·t + (1/2)·g·t²

The time it takes to maximum height, t_{max} = 8.75/9.81

The time it takes to get back to the cliff edge when thrown = 2 × 8.75/9.81

The time taken to fall at the velocity of <em>u</em> downwards from the cliff edge, t_{cliff}, is given as follows;

t_{cliff} = 2.45 - 2 × 8.75/9.81 ≈ 0.666

Height of cliff, h = 8.75×(2.45 - 2 × 8.75/9.81) + (1/2) × 9.81 × (2.45 - 2 × 8.75/9.81)² ≈ 8

The height of the cliff, h ≈ <u>8.00 meters</u>

(b) The time it takes the rock to rich the ground when thrown straight down art the same speed, (calculates above) = t_{cliff} ≈ <u>0.67 seconds</u>

Greg throws a 2.8-kg pumpkin horizontally off the top of the school roof in order to hit Mr. H's car. The car has parked a dista
Igoryamba

Answer:

The horizontal velocity is v = 9.2 m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The mass of the pumpkin is  m = 2.8 \ kg

      The distance of the the car from the building's base is  d = 13.4 \ m

       The height of the roof is h = 10.4 \ m

       

The height is mathematically represented as

         h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2

Where g is the acceleration due to gravity which has a value of g =9.8 \ m/s^2

substituting values

          10.4= 0.5 * 9.8 * t

making the time taken the subject of the formula

         t = \frac{10.4}{0.5 * 9.8 }

          t = 1.457 \ s

The speed at which the pumpkin move horizontally can be represented mathematically  as

                         v = \frac{d}{t}

substituting values

                     v =\frac{13.4}{1.457}

                     v = 9.2 m/s
