Using energy considerations, and assuming negligible air resistance, show that a rock thrown from a bridge 20.0 m above water with initial speed of 15 m/s directly downward, strikes the water with a speed of 24.8 m/s. If the rock is thrown directly upward with the same 15 m/s initial speed, what would the speed be when it strikes the water?

Using energy considerations and assuming negligible air resistance, a rock thrown from a bridge 22 m above water with an initial speed of 14 m/s strikes the water with the same speed independent of the direction thrown. With what speed does the rock strike the water?

A rock is thrown downward with velocity $10 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{sec}$ from a bridge $100 \mathrm{ft}$ above the water. How fast is the rock going when it hits the water?
