Question
A student standing on a cliff that is a vertical height d = 8.0 m above the level ground throws a stone with velocity v0 = 15 m/s at an angle θ = 31 ° below horizontal. The stone moves without air resistance; use a Cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the stone’s initial position.
Required:
With what speed, vf in meters per second, does the stone strike the ground?

Answer:
The stone strikes the ground in 14.72m/s
Explanation:
The initial vertical velocity of the stone is given by:
Vyo= VSin theta
Given: V = 15m/s , theta = 31°
Vyo = 15 Sin 31
Vyo = 7.73m/s
Final vertical velocity, Vf can be determined by using kinematic equation
Vf^2 – U^2 = 2as
Vf^2 -( 7.73)^2 = 2(9.8×(-8))
Vf^2 = 59.75 + 156.8
Vf^2 = 216.6
Vf = sqrt(216.46)
Vf = 14.72m/s
Therefore,The stone strikes the ground in 14.72m/s
