An old man standing at the edge of a seaside cliff kicks a stone over the edge with a speed of 14 m/s. The cliff is 63.5 m above the water's surface. a. How long does it take the stone to fall to the water?
b. With what speed does the stone strike the water?

a) t=3.6 sec

b)

Explanation:

Horizontal Motion

When an object is thrown horizontally with a speed v from a height h, it describes a curved trajectory ruled by a constant speed in the horizontal direction and a variable speed in the vertical direction, where the acceleration of gravity makes the object fall to the ground.

If we know the height h from which the object was launched, the time it takes to hit the ground is:

The horizontal speed is always constant:

vx=vo

But the vertical speed depends on the time and acceleration of gravity:

The magnitude of the velocity or final speed of the object is given by:

a.

The stone was kicked over the cliff with a speed of v0=14 m/s, and the height it was thrown from is h=63.5 m, thus:

t=3.6 sec

b.

The vertical speed is:

vy=35.3 m/s

The final speed is calculated below:

with the invention of the automobile, the woman of the house could drive to the store and get groceries. women were also free to socialize more. during world war ii women were allowed to work in factories to the war effort and could drive to work or ride mass transit buses to their jobs.
