If a ball is released from a cliff ledge 58 m above the ground, how fast is the ball traveling when it reaches the ground? (Use the acceleration due to gravity g = 10 m/s2)
Added by Alicia G.
Step 1
Step 1:** Identify the known variables: - Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s - Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s^2 - Displacement (s) = 58 m ** Show more…

A ball is thrown straight up in the air with an initial speed of 50 m/s. Ignore air resistance and take g = 10 m/s^2. What is the speed of the ball when it reaches 100 m above the ground?

A person stands on the edge of a straight 20m-high cliff and holds a ball over the edge. The person tosses the ball directly upward with an initial speed of 5ms. How long will it take the ball to hit the ground at the base of the cliff, 20m below?
