Question
A 5.00 kg stone is thrown upward at 7.50 m/s at an angle of 51.0 degrees above the horizontal from the upper edge of a cliff, and it hits the ground 1.50 s later with no air drag. Find the magnitude of its velocity vector just as it reaches the ground.

Your school SUBJECT is probably physics.

The horizontal speed does not change. It remains at
7.5 cos51° = 4.72 m/s
The vertical speed is given by v = Vo -9.8t, so it ends up at
7.5 sin51° - 9.8*1.5 = -8.87 m/s
So, the final speed is √(4.72^2 + 8.87^2) = 10.05 m/s
7.5 cos51° = 4.72 m/s
The vertical speed is given by v = Vo -9.8t, so it ends up at
7.5 sin51° - 9.8*1.5 = -8.87 m/s
So, the final speed is √(4.72^2 + 8.87^2) = 10.05 m/s
