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, = 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, , is given as follows;
= 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) = ≈ <u>0.67 seconds</u>
