Step 1
- Horizontal speed (\(v_x\)) = \(5 \, \text{m/s}\) - Horizontal distance (\(d_x\)) = \(20 \, \text{m}\) - Acceleration due to gravity (\(g\)) = \(10 \, \text{m/s}^2\) Show more…

A stone thrown horizontally from the top of a tower hits the ground at a distance of 18 m from the base of the tower. a) Find the speed at which the stone was thrown if the tower is 24 m high. (Answer: 8.14 m/s) b) Find the speed of the stone just before it hits the ground. (Answer: 23.2 m/s)

. A man stands on the roof of a 15.0 -m-tall building and throws a rock with a velocity of magnitude 30.0 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ at an angle of $33.0^{\circ}$ above the horizontal. You can ignore air resistance. Calculate (a) the maximum height above the roof reached by the rock, (b) the magnitude of the velocity of the rock just before it strikes the ground, and (c) the horizontal distance from the base of the building to the point where the rock strikes the ground.
10.A hiker throws a stone from the upper edge of a vertical cliff. The stone's initial velocity is 25.0 m/s directed at 40.0° with the face of the cliff, as shown in the figure. The stone hits the ground 3.75 s after being thrown and feels no appreciable air resistance as it falls. (a) What is the height of the cliff? (b) How far from the foot of the cliff does the stone land? (c) How fast is the stone moving just before it hits the ground?
