A student stands at the edge of a cliff and throws a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of 19.0 m/s. The cliff is h = 44.0 m above a flat, horizontal beach as shown in the figure.
(a) What are the coordinates of the initial position of the stone?
x0 = m
y0 = m
(b) What are the components of the initial velocity?
v0x = m/s
v0y = m/s
(c) Write the equations for the x- and y-components of the velocity of the stone with time. (Use the following as necessary: t. Let the variable t be measured in seconds. Do not state units in your answer.)
vx =
vy =
(d) Write the equations for the position of the stone with time, using the coordinates in the figure. (Use the following as necessary: t. Let the variable t be measured in seconds. Do not state units in your answer.)
x =
y =
(e) How long after being released does the stone strike the beach below the cliff?
s
(f) With what speed and angle of impact does the stone land?
vf = m/s
? = ° below the horizontal
