Standing at the edge of a tall cliff, you throw a rock straight downward with an initial speed of 10 m/s. Approximately how fast is the rock travelling after 3 seconds? Use g = 10 m/s2.
Added by Jennifer F.
Step 1
This means that the initial velocity of the rock is -10 m/s (negative because it is moving downward). Show more…

A ball is thrown straight down from the edge of a cliff so that its speed starts at 30 m/s. Assuming that this ball has the free fall acceleration of 10 m/s/s down, what will be the speed of this ball 3 seconds after it is thrown?

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)
