A boy standing near the edge of a cliff 125 m above a river throws a stone downward with a speed of 10 M per second find with what speed will the stone hit water and how long will it take to descend
Added by Heather L.
Step 1
The height of the cliff is h = 125 m, the initial velocity (thrown downward) is u = 10 m/s, and the acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.8 m/s². Since the stone is thrown downward, we treat the direction downward as positive. Show more…

A rock climber stands on top of a 51 m -high cliff overhanging a pool of water. He throws two stones vertically downward 1.0 s apart and observes that they cause a single splash. The initial speed of the first stone was 1.7 m/s. How long after the release of the first stone does the second stone hit the water? What was the initial speed of the second stone? What is the speed of the first stone as it hits the water? What is the speed of the second stone as it hits the water?

A rock climber stands on top of a $50-\mathrm{m}$ -high cliff overhanging a pool of water. He throws two stones vertically downward $1.0 \mathrm{s}$ apart and observes that they cause a single splash. The initial speed of the first stone was $2.0 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$. a. How long after the release of the first stone does the second stone hit the water? b. What was the initial speed of the second stone? c. What is the speed of each stone as it hits the water?
A boy standing on a bridge over a river 30.0 m below drops a stone straight down and finds that it takes 2.0 seconds to hit the water. Assume that the acceleration of the stone is 9.8 m/s2 downwards. Find the final velocity of the stone before it strikes the ground.
