Using energy considerations and assuming negligible air resistance, show that a rock thrown from a bridge 23.5 m above water with an initial speed of 13.6 m/s strikes the water with a speed of 25.4 m/s independent of the direction thrown.

As stated in the statement, we will apply energy conservation to solve this problem.

From this concept we know that the kinetic energy gained is equivalent to the potential energy lost and vice versa. Mathematically said equilibrium can be expressed as

Where,

m = mass

= initial and final velocity

g = Gravity

h = height

As the mass is tHe same and the final height is zero we have that the expression is now:
